Wow that's quite a chart gotta say!

Yep... Gotta say, I think people are holding on since they have not place to move that is any cheaper... Selling forces one into apartments that are not cheap.. It is a difficult situation for those who are delinquent.

May be because banks are not allowed to evict anybody during the pandemic?

banks are not allowed to evict anybody
If you are $10,000 or $15,000 or $20,000 behind in rents or mortgage, you just wait to get forced out and take the credit hit.
You are way ahead of the game, especially if you are getting paid by the government to not work.
Even with bad credit, you can usually rent anywhere with 6 months prepaid.
That leaves you with enough cash to go to the casino!
I know people who have more cash now than they have ever had and they have not worked in a year!
Locally, our city postponed tax delinquent foreclosures/auctions for one year.
How will this all end?

Something else I haven't seen mentioned a lot, most mortgage companies offered forbearance to their customers as a result of covid. That is all
about to come to an end, so they will have the option to pay that lump sum, or refinance. What has changed since this started? Interest rates
aren't quite where they were, some folks have a surprise coming. If they are planning on just taking payments back up at the rate they had
before, ain't gonna happen.
