Freddie Mac: Mortgage Serious Delinquency rate unchanged in April

Freddie Mac reported that the Single-Family serious delinquency rate in April was at 0.92%, unchanged from 0.92% in March.  Freddie’s rate is down from 1.15% in April 2016.

Freddie’s serious delinquency rate peaked in February 2010 at 4.20%.

This matches last month as the lowest serious delinquency rate since May 2008.

These are mortgage loans that are “three monthly payments or more past due or in foreclosure”.

Although the rate is still declining, the rate of decline has slowed.

Maybe the rate will decline another 0.2 to 0.4 percentage points or so to a cycle bottom, but this is pretty close to normal.

Note: Fannie Mae will report for April soon.
