Delinquencies Climb

Summary of Mortgage Bankers Press Release 8/20/2009 from Carolyn Kemp - http://www.mbaa.org/NewsandMedia/PressCenter/70050.htm

 

The delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one-to-four-unit residential properties rose to a seasonally adjusted rate of 9.24 percent of all loans outstanding as of the end of the second quarter of 2009, up 12 basis points from the first quarter of 2009, and up 283 basis points from one year ago, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) National Delinquency Survey. The non-seasonally adjusted delinquency rate increased 64 basis points from 8.22 percent in the first quarter of 2009 to 8.86 percent this quarter.

 

Not good news when looking for signs of a recovery.
