ICE First Look at Mortgage Performance: Delinquencies improved in July despite Hurricane Beryl's impact on Houston homeowners
- The national delinquency rate fell 12 basis points (bps) to 3.37% in July, offsetting some of June's calendar-related rise – dropping 3.5% for the month but up 4.8% from the same time last year
- Delinquencies declined in all major markets except Houston, where Hurricane Beryl resulted in an estimated 10K mortgage holders falling behind on payments as a result of the storm
- Serious delinquencies (loans 90+ days past due but not in active foreclosure) rose 5K (+1.1%) to a five-month high, but are still down -33K (-7.0%) from the same time last year
- The number of borrowers a single payment past due dropped by -77K in July, while 60-day delinquencies climbed 11K
- While foreclosure starts increased by 7K (30%) in the month, that's partially a byproduct of starts hitting a multi-year low the month prior rather than a sign of underlying stress in the market
- Active foreclosure inventory nudged higher (+2K), but remains at its second-lowest level since January 2022 and is still 34% below pre-pandemic levels
- 5.5K foreclosure sales were completed in July representing a +3.7% month-over-month increase, but were down -9.6% from last year and are still running at less than half their 2019 averages
- Prepayment activity (SMM) rose to 0.60% on easing rates, notching its highest mark since September 2022
