Insights

The August 2024 mortgage performance data from ICE reveals a nuanced picture of the U.S. housing market. The total delinquency rate of 3.34% represents a slight improvement month-over-month but a 5.11% increase year-over-year. This suggests a gradual deterioration in mortgage performance compared to the previous year, albeit from historically low levels.

Key points to consider:

  • Serious delinquencies (90+ days past due) increased by 14,000, reaching a six-month high. This warrants attention as it could be an early indicator of financial stress among homeowners.
  • Foreclosure activity remains subdued, with starts 32% below 2019 levels and the foreclosure inventory at near-record lows. This indicates that lenders are still cautious about initiating foreclosure proceedings.
  • The prepayment rate increased to 0.62%, the highest in two years, likely due to easing interest rates. This could signal increased refinancing activity or home sales.

While the overall picture remains stable, the year-over-year increases in delinquencies and the rise in serious delinquencies merit close monitoring. Investors should watch for trends in states with high non-current percentages, such as Mississippi and Louisiana, as potential leading indicators of broader market shifts.

The ICE mortgage performance data for August 2024 provides important insights into regional disparities and emerging trends in the U.S. housing market:

  • Significant state-level variations exist, with Mississippi leading in non-current loans at 7.93%, while Colorado has the lowest rate at 1.94%. This highlights the importance of geographic diversification for mortgage-backed securities investors.
  • The 12.75% 12-month increase in non-current loans in Arizona is noteworthy, potentially indicating localized economic challenges.
  • Conversely, New York showed the most improvement with a 6.92% decrease in non-current loans over the past year, suggesting regional economic resilience.

The 18% year-over-year increase in prepayment activity is particularly interesting. This could indicate a shift in consumer behavior, possibly driven by expectations of future rate changes or improved refinancing opportunities. Investors should consider how this might impact mortgage-backed securities and related financial instruments.

While overall delinquency rates remain low by historical standards, the modest year-over-year increase and the rise in serious delinquencies warrant attention. These could be early signs of potential stress in the housing market, especially if economic conditions deteriorate.

  • The national delinquency rate fell 3 basis points (bps) to 3.34% in August, dropping 0.9% for the month but up 5.1% from last year
  • The number of borrowers a single payment past due dropped by -26K, while 60-day delinquencies rose marginally by 1K
  • Serious delinquencies (loans 90+ days past due but not in active foreclosure) rose 14K (+3.3%) to a six-month high, but remain historically low
  • Foreclosure starts fell by 9% from the month prior and remain 32% below their 2019 levels
  • Active foreclosure inventory also improved in the month, with the share of mortgages in foreclosure hitting the second-lowest level on record outside of the COVID-19 moratorium
  • 5.6K foreclosure sales were completed nationally in August – a +2.6% month-over-month increase, yet down -18.1% from last year and 58% below 2019 levels
  • Prepayment activity (SMM) rose to 0.62% – a level not seen in two years (August 2022) – on easing rates, rising by 4.7% from July and 18.0% from last year
