Mortgage Delinquencies Dip to Lowest Since 1995

The seasonally adjusted delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one- to four-unit residential properties fell to 3.97% of all loans outstanding at the end of the third quarter, the Mortgage Bankers Association has announced, citing its survey results.

That’s down 56 basis points from the prior quarter and 50 basis points from 2018. It also marks the lowest level since the first quarter of 1995, according to the MBA.
