CoreLogic

San Diego home prices went up the third fastest in the nation in September and appreciated at a pace not seen in more than six years.

After ending their hostile bid, the two investors continued their push for greater control of the mortgage technology company.

The third quarter’s higher share of purchase applications, which followed the refinance wave that crested in the second, caused a rise in mortgage application fraud risk, according to CoreLogic.

With a dearth of inventory, September generated the largest price growth in the housing market since May 2014, according to CoreLogic.

Getting ahead of the next wave of mortgage fraud calls for rock-solid systems with several protective tools deployed at once. But that only goes so far without the proper employee preparation.

Two investors pushing CoreLogic Inc. to explore a sale won partial support from a prominent shareholder advisory firm, which urged shareholders to support three of the dissident group’s nominees for the board.

The company said it is "engaging with third parties" that are reportedly willing to pay at least $14 per share more than Senator Investment and Cannae Holdings.

U.S. home prices rose the most in two years in August as low mortgage rates spurred competition for an increasingly scarce supply of listings.

The war of words between Senator Investments, Cannae Holdings and CoreLogic continues in the run-up to the Nov. 17 special shareholders meeting.

While overall mortgage delinquency rates slowly descend, serious delinquencies — especially loans past 120 days due — jumped in July, according to CoreLogic.
