MBA: 2Q Mortgage Delinquencies Fall to One-Year Low

The Mortgage Bankers Association on Thursday released its Second Quarter National Delinquency Survey, showing the delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one-to-four-unit residential properties fell to a seasonally adjusted rate of 5.47 percent of all loans outstanding—the lowest rate since first-quarter 2020.

Quote

“It appears that borrowers in later stages of delinquency are recovering due to several factors, including improved employment and other economic conditions, the availability of home retention workout options after forbearance, and a strong housing market that is bringing additional alternatives to distressed homeowners.”
–Marina Walsh, CMB, MBA Vice President of Industry Analysis.

“Both single-family and multifamily starts declined in July relative to June, but single-family starts remain almost 12% higher than last year. There are now almost 690,000 single-family homes under construction – the largest number since 2007. This is clearly a positive sign given the remarkably low levels of inventory on the market.”
–MBA Chief Economist Mike Fratantoni.
