Freddie Mac: Mortgage Serious Delinquency Rate unchanged in June
Freddie Mac reported that the Single-Family serious delinquency rate in June was 0.63%, unchanged from 0.63% in May. Freddie's rate is down from 0.82% in June 2018.
Freddie's serious delinquency rate peaked in February 2010 at 4.20%.
This equals the lowest serious delinquency rate for Freddie Mac since November 2007.
These are mortgage loans that are "three monthly payments or more past due or in foreclosure".

I expect the delinquency rate to decline to a cycle bottom in the 0.4% to 0.6% range - so this is close to a bottom.
Note: Fannie Mae will report for June soon.
