Delinquency Rates Leveled Off in February

Tuesday, May 11, 2021

Mortgage delinquency rates ticked up slightly in February, the first increase since August 2020. CoreLogic said the national delinquency rate at the end of the reporting period was 5.7 percent, up 0.1 percentage point from January. The rate indicates the percentage of all mortgages that were 30 or more days past due including those in foreclosure. The rate in February 2020, one month before the COVID-19 virus shut down much of the country, was 3.6 percent. It peaked at 4.3 percent in August 2020.  "Some families that had overspent during the year-end holiday season, and then faced financial stress in the new year, may slip behind on a mortgage payment by February," said Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist at CoreLogic. "During each of the last five years, the 30-day delinquency rate moved higher from January to February. With economic conditions improving, we expect delinquency rates to move lower in coming months."

"I just wanted to take the time to write and let you know what a miracle worker you are. I never thought in a million years I would get approved to purchase a home but you did it and what a tough job you had. You came through for me and never gave up and I wanted you to know that I am truly grateful. Now I have a place that I can call my own for my daughter and me. Kim, I tell everyone I talk to if they are looking to refinance or purchase a home to call you and you'll get the job done. Thank you so much."
