Mortgage Data

Because I have to back up what I've been writing. I had the stats I needed somewhere and now I can't find it. I KNOW I posted the calculations here and I just can't find it.

OK, so let's do this again.

OCC and OTS Mortgage Metrics Report

Rate of Default is Rising Among FHA Backed Loans

The default rate for mortgages recently insured by the Federal Housing Administration has been climbing, an alarming trend for an agency that is playing a vastly expanded role in the mortgage market and backing roughly a quarter of all the loans made last year.

About 4.31 percent of the FHA-insured loans made in the two years ending Dec. 31 were at least 90 days late, according to the most recent update of an FHA database designed to help the agency detect problems with its lenders and programs. That's the highest in any two-year period since at least 2005.

On a monthly basis, FHA defaults have been rising since summer, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which includes the FHA. Not all defaults result in foreclosure.

9% Of All Mortgages in Default/Foreclosure

WASHINGTON (AP) — A record 9 percent of American homeowners with a mortgage were either behind on their payments or in foreclosure at the end of June, as damage from the housing crisis continues to mount, the Mortgage Bankers Association said Friday.But the source of trouble in the mortgage market has shifted from subprime loans made to borrowers with poor credit to homeowners who had solid credit but took out exotic loans with ballooning monthly payments.

The problem is also concentrated in a handful of states, the worst being California and Florida. The real estate markets in those two states were fueled by some of the riskiest lending practices and rampant speculation during the housing boom that has turned into a devastating bust.

Foreclosures, Delinquincies hit record High

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- The percentage of U.S. mortgage holders who were behind in their payments soared to a record 6.99% of loans outstanding in the third quarter, the Mortgage Bankers Association said Friday, and the number of mortgages somewhere in the foreclosure process was also at a new high.But the number of mortgages on which foreclosure proceedings was started actually fell slightly during the third quarter compared with the second quarter, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's quarterly delinquency survey. That doesn't necessarily indicate a slowdown in foreclosures, said Jay Brinkmann, MBA's chief economist.
