CoreLogic Loan Performance Insights through April 2017
“Most major indicators of mortgage performance improved in April, showing that the market continues to benefit from improved economic growth and home prices increases,” said Frank Nothaft, chief economist at CoreLogic. “Regionally, with the exception of several energy industry intensive states — Alaska and North Dakota — the rest of the U.S. continues to see improvements in mortgage performance. While overall performance is improving, it reflects the older legacy pipeline of loans that continue to heal, especially in judicial states which typically take longer to clear out.”
- The 30 days or more delinquency rate for April 2016 was 5.3 percent. In April 2017, 4.8 percent of mortgages were delinquent by at least 30 days or more including those in foreclosure. This represents a 0.5 percentage point decline in the overall delinquency rate compared with April 2016.
- The share of mortgages that transitioned from current to 30 days past due was 1.2 percent in April 2017 compared with 1 percent in April 2016.
- Serious delinquency is defined as 90 days or more past due including loans in foreclosure. In Alaska, North Dakota the Serious Delinquency Rate increased and Louisiana and Wyoming were flat. All the remaining states saw Serious Delinquency Rates decrease.
