Insights

The mortgage market is showing concerning trends with delinquency rates rising for the fourth consecutive quarter, reaching 3.48% in September. The 5.7% year-over-year increase and rising serious delinquencies signal potential stress in household finances. Most alarming is the 43.2% surge in prepayment activity, hitting a two-year high, which suggests homeowners are refinancing or selling properties despite high interest rates.

The geographic disparity is notable, with Southern states showing significantly higher delinquency rates - Louisiana leading at 8.31%. The 90+ day delinquency increase to 476,000 loans marks a concerning shift in long-term payment behavior. However, foreclosure activity remains subdued at 0.35%, still 34% below pre-pandemic levels, indicating lenders' continued forbearance.

This data reveals broader economic stress patterns, particularly in regions with historically lower income levels. The rising delinquency rates, coupled with increased prepayment activity, suggest a complex economic environment where some homeowners are struggling while others are actively managing their mortgage positions. The geographic concentration of delinquencies in Southern states, contrasted with stronger performance in Western states, reflects regional economic disparities.

The relatively contained foreclosure rates despite rising delinquencies indicate that post-2008 regulatory frameworks and lender policies are functioning as intended, preventing immediate foreclosure cascades. However, the trend of increasing serious delinquencies warrants close monitoring as a potential leading indicator of housing market stress.

  • The national delinquency rate rose 14 basis points to 3.48% in September, up 4.3% from August and 5.7% year over year
  • September marked the fourth consecutive year-over-year rise in mortgage delinquencies, the longest such stretch since early 2018 outside of the initial impact of the COVID pandemic
  • A 5.9% bump brought serious delinquencies (90+ days past due but not yet in active foreclosure) to a 16-month high and delivered a second consecutive month of year-over-year increases
  • 30-day delinquencies hit a three-month high and 60-days were at the highest since January 2021; foreclosure activity remained muted, with both starts and sales/completions down in September
  • The number of loans in active foreclosure was up marginally (+0.4%) month over month but down 12.5% from this time last year and still 34% below pre-pandemic levels
  • Prepayment activity rose to a level not seen since August 2022; a +2.5% increase from the month prior and up +43.2% from last September
