By the Numbers: Mortgage delinquencies tick up as affordability strains homeowners
The U.S. affordability crisis is continuing to take a toll on homeowners, an increasing share of whom are missing their mortgage payments.
In the fourth quarter, the share of delinquent mortgages ticked up 28 basis points year over year and 27 basis points quarter over quarter to reach 4.26 percent, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. While more homeowners are falling behind on payments, the rate of loans starting the foreclosure process held relatively steady compared to the quarter and year before, at about 0.2 percent.
Mississippi had the highest 90-day delinquency rate, of 2.66 percent, and the highest 30-day delinquency rate, of 3.98 percent. Both rates increased the most quarter over quarter in the country, by 26 basis points (90 days) and by 44 basis points (30 days).
