The share of mortgages that were 60-89 days past due in February 2018 was 0.7 percent, down from 0.8 percent in January 2018 and unchanged 0.7 percent in February 2017.&nbsp;The serious delinquency rate (defined as 90 days or more past due, including loans in foreclosure)&nbsp;was 2.1 percent in February 2018, unchanged from January 2018 and down from 2.2 percent in February 2017. The February 2018 serious delinquency rate was the lowest for February since February 2007, when it was 1.6 percent.<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Last year&#8217;s hurricanes continue to affect loan performance in affected markets, showing up in statewide data,&#8221; said Dr. Frank&nbsp;Nothaft, chief economist for CoreLogic. \u201cSerious delinquency rates in February were 50 percent higher than in August 2017 in Texas, and nearly double in Florida, even though the wind and flood damage was primarily in coastal markets. In Puerto Rico, the damage was widespread. Serious delinquency rates were up five-fold over the August-to-February period, with a significant increase in all metropolitan areas there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Since early-stage delinquencies can be volatile, <a href=\"corelogic-special-report\/\">CoreLogic<\/a> also analyzes transition rates. The share of mortgages that transitioned from current to 30 days past due was 0.9 percent in February 2018, up from 0.8 percent in January 2018 and down from 1 percent in February 2017. By comparison, in January 2007, just before the start of the financial crisis, the current- to 30-day transition rate was 1.2 percent, while it peaked in November 2008 at 2 percent.&nbsp;<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall delinquency rates fell in the U.S. over the past year, driven by a long run of stringent underwriting, higher employment and wages,\u201d said Frank Martell, president and CEO of CoreLogic. \u201cAt the same time, our CoreLogic U.S. Home Price Index (HPI) showed a 6.4 percent increase in home-price appreciation for the 12 months, which ended in February 2018.\u202fThese factors bode well for the fortunes of both homeowners and mortgage servicers.\u201d<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite 2017 Hurricanes, National Mortgage Delinquency Rate Fell Year Over Year&nbsp; February Foreclosure Rate Declined 0.2 Percentage Points Year Over Year&nbsp; Early-Stage Delinquency Rates Were Flat from February a Year Ago&nbsp; CoreLogic\u00ae released its monthly&nbsp;Loan Performance Insights Report, which shows that, nationally, 4.8 percent of mortgages were in some stage of delinquency (30 days or [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15802,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-1960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
