IMBs and mortgage subsidiaries reported a net loss

Independent mortgage banks (IMBs) and mortgage subsidiaries of chartered banks reported an $82 net loss on each loan originated in quarter two of this year.

This net loss was down from a $223 gain per loan in the first quarter. Only 57 percent of production and servicing operations in MBA’s report were profitable.

Mortgage delinquencies decreased in the second quarter

Delinquent was defined as loans in forbearance with a payment not made based on the original terms of the mortgage. Mortgage delinquencies for one-to-four-unit residential properties decreased to 3.64 percent (seasonally adjusted) of all loans outstanding and the lowest delinquency rate seen since the beginning of MBA’s survey in 1979. This is a decline of 47 basis points from the first quarter of 2022 and a decline of 183 points from the second quarter of 2021. This decline was seen from loans that were 90 days or more delinquent but not in foreclosure.
