Insights

The reported spike in national delinquency rates in June is notable but appears to be driven primarily by calendar quirks, specifically the month ending on a Sunday. This typically leads to temporary increases in delinquent payments, as payments made on the last day are processed the following month. However, the significant increases in 30-day and 60-day delinquencies could be a cause for concern if they persist beyond this calendar anomaly. Investors should closely monitor subsequent monthly performance to ascertain whether this is an emerging trend or a one-off occurrence. Importantly, the decline in foreclosure starts and the historically low levels of active foreclosures indicate a relatively stable housing market environment despite the uptick in delinquencies.

The mortgage performance statistics from ICE provide some mixed signals. While the spike in delinquencies might initially raise red flags, context is crucial. The data shows that serious delinquencies are still below pre-pandemic levels and that foreclosure inventory is at its lowest since the end of COVID-era moratoriums. This suggests that while short-term volatility in delinquency rates is noticeable, the long-term trends remain positive. This stability in foreclosure rates may continue to provide confidence to mortgage-backed securities investors.

From an economic perspective, the reported fluctuations in mortgage delinquency and foreclosure rates reflect broader market dynamics. The continued low foreclosure rates, despite rising delinquencies, indicate that homeowners are generally managing to avoid the worst-case scenario of losing their homes. This can be attributed to improved economic conditions, such as lower unemployment rates and various government support measures. However, the regional disparities, with states like Mississippi and Louisiana experiencing higher levels of non-current loans, highlight the uneven economic recovery across the country.

  • Coming off a near-record low in May and with June ending on a Sunday, the national delinquency rate jumped +14.5% (+45 basis points) to 3.49%, its second highest level in 18 months
  • Sunday month-ends often lead to sharp, but typically temporary, spikes in delinquent mortgages, as payments made on the last day of a given month are not processed until the following month
  • As such, June saw a +19.6% increase in the number of borrowers a single payment past due – the highest inflow since May 2020 – while 60-day delinquencies rose 11.8% to a five-month high
  • Though up 5.1% from May, serious delinquencies (loans 90+ days past due but not in active foreclosure) were still down ‑8.5% year over year and 10.1% below pre-pandemic levels
  • Foreclosure starts declined 6.2% in June – pushing active foreclosure inventory to its lowest point since the end of COVID-era moratoriums, now 34% below pre-pandemic levels
  • 5.3K foreclosure sales were completed nationally in June, representing a -14.9% month-over-month decrease to their lowest level since February 2022, still well below pre-pandemic norms
  • Prepayments eased -7.6% from May, breaking a six-month streak of increasing prepay activity as we near the typical seasonal peak of home sales, and affordability and rate constraints persist
