Freddie Mac reported that the Single-Family serious delinquency rate in May was 0.87%, down from 0.94% in April. Freddie's rate is unchanged from 0.87% in May 2017.

Freddie's serious delinquency rate peaked in February 2010 at 4.20%.

These are mortgage loans that are "three monthly payments or more past due or in foreclosure".

The increase in the delinquency rate late last year was due to the hurricanes - no worries about the overall market (These are serious delinquencies, so it took three months late to be counted).

After the hurricane bump, maybe the rate will decline to a cycle bottom in the 0.5% to 0.8% range.

Note: Fannie Mae will report for May soon.
