ICE's November 2024 mortgage performance data shows concerning trends in the U.S. housing market. The national delinquency rate increased to 3.74%, marking the highest level in nearly three years and six consecutive months of year-over-year increases. The total number of properties 30+ days past due but not in foreclosure reached 2,027,000, up by 159,000 month-over-month.

Seriously delinquent loans (90+ days past due) increased to 512,000 properties. Despite rising delinquencies, foreclosure activity remained subdued, with starts and completions dropping in November and staying below pre-pandemic levels. Prepayment activity fell 25.0% month-over-month due to higher interest rates.

Louisiana leads states with the highest non-current percentage at 8.60%, while Washington has the lowest at 2.16%. Florida showed the largest 12-month increase in non-current loans at 28.13%.

L'attività di rimborso anticipato è scesa del 25,0% rispetto al mese precedente a causa dei tassi di interesse più elevati.

Insights

The latest mortgage performance metrics reveal concerning trends in the housing market. The 3.74% national delinquency rate, reaching its highest level in nearly three years with a 29 basis point jump, signals potential stress in household finances. The 512,000 seriously delinquent loans (90+ days past due) represent a particularly worrying indicator.

Geographic disparities are striking, with Louisiana and Mississippi showing non-current rates above 8, while Western states maintain healthier metrics below 2.5. Florida's dramatic 28.13 year-over-year increase in non-current loans likely reflects both hurricane impact and broader economic pressures.

The 25.02 monthly drop in prepayment activity, driven by higher interest rates, suggests a continued slowdown in refinancing and housing turnover. This could impact ICE's mortgage technology revenue stream, as reduced transaction volume typically leads to lower service fees and data analytics demand.

The data presents a complex picture of mounting household financial stress against a backdrop of relatively contained foreclosure activity. The 159,000 monthly increase in 30+ day delinquencies, coupled with rising serious delinquencies, may foreshadow increased default risk if economic conditions deteriorate.

However, the foreclosure landscape remains benign compared to historical norms, with starts down 29.22 year-over-year and inventory declining by 31,000 properties. This suggests that while payment stress is building, strong employment and home equity positions are currently providing buffers against severe housing distress.

The regional concentration of delinquencies in the Southeast, particularly post-hurricane impacts in Florida, indicates that natural disasters rather than systemic economic issues may be driving some of the deterioration. Still, the broad-based nature of delinquency increases across early-, mid- and late-stage categories warrants close monitoring.

  • The national delinquency rate jumped 29 basis points (bps) in November to 3.74%, its highest level in almost three years, marking six consecutive months of year-over-year increases
  • While much of November’s spike was driven by seasonality, post-hurricane distress, and a late-in-the-month Thanksgiving, delinquencies more broadly continue to rise from recent year lows
  • Early-, mid- and late-stage defaults all rose in November, with seriously delinquent loans – 90 or more days past due but not in active foreclosure – now at the highest level since February 2023
  • Both foreclosure starts and completions dropped in November and remain well below pre-pandemic levels, leaving 31K fewer loans in active foreclosure than at the same time last year
  • Prepayment activity fell -25.0% month over month on October’s higher interest rates, and remains nearly 30% off last year’s levels
