"Our analysis showed an increase in prepayment activity across the entire combined loan-to-value (CLTV) continuum," says LPS' Applied Analytics Senior Vice President Herb Blecher. "While those loans with equity, particularly 80 percent CLTV and below, have much higher prepayment speeds, the impact of the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) was also clear. Loans with a CLTV of more than 120 percent saw the greatest uptick -- a 65 percent increase for the year to date.
