CoreLogic Loan Performance Insights

30 days or more delinquent – national

  • The 30 days or more delinquency rate for September 2016 was 5.2 percent.
  • In September 2017, 5 percent of mortgages were delinquent by at least 30 days or more including those in foreclosure.
  • This represents a 0.2 percentage point decline in the overall delinquency rate compared with September 2016.

Loan performance – national

  • As of September 2017, the foreclosure inventory rate was 0.6 percent down from 0.8 percent in September 2016.

Transition rates – national

  • The share of mortgages that transitioned from current to 30-days past due was 1.3 percent in September 2017, up from 0.9 percent in September 2016.
  • By comparison, in January 2007, just before the start of the financial crisis, the current-to-30-day transition rate was 1.2 percent and peaked in November 2008 at 2 percent.

“September’s early-stage delinquency rate increased by 0.3 percent from a year ago, the largest increase since June 2009,” said Frank Nothaft, chief economist at CoreLogic.

“This does not reflect a deterioration in credit, but rather the impact of the hurricanes in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. September’s early-stage delinquency transition rate rose to 2.6 percent in Texas and it rose to 3.2 percent in Florida, which is higher than the 1 percent that’s typical for both states.

“Texas and Florida’s early-state delinquency transition rates in September are much lower than New Orleans in September 2005 when the transition rate reached 17.4 percent as a result of Hurricane Katrina.”
