Today, in the Calculated Risk Real Estate Newsletter: Fannie and Freddie: Single Family Serious Delinquency Rate Ticked Up in August

Brief excerpt:

Single-family serious delinquencies increased slightly in August, and multi-family serious delinquencies decreased slightly.
...
Freddie Mac reports that the multi-family delinquencies rate decreased to 0.38% in August, down from 0.39% in July, and down from the recent peak of 0.44% in January.

This graph shows the Freddie multi-family serious delinquency rate since 2012. Rates were still high in 2012 following the housing bust and financial crisis.

The multi-family rate increased following the pandemic and has increased recently as rent growth slowed, vacancy rates increased and borrowing costs increased sharply. The rate surged higher in January and has moved mostly sideways at an elevated level since then.
