Not Delinquent

As a sign of the overall health of the U.S. real estate market, single-family mortgages that are ‘seriously delinquent’ only represent 0.51% of all single-family mortgages.

This percentage is lower than last month and lower than last year.

A mortgage is considered ‘seriously delinquent’ if it is more than 90 days past due.

To put the current rate in perspective, in February 2010 5.6% of single-family mortgages were seriously delinquent.

So, today’s number is roughly 10% of the worst time of the housing bubble.
