Student debt, negative stock fuel bags of mortgage risk
The report revealed that almost 20% of the mortgage holders also have debts of student loans, a figure that climbs up to almost 30% Federal Housing Administration (Fha) borrowers.
Mortgage holders who are behind their student loans are four times more likely to be delinquent on their mortgages, Ice reported. For reference, ICE said that the national delinquency percentage in May stuck 2 basic points (BPS) (BPS) to 3.2%, although the year after year 16 BPS has risen.
“Although the delay in the growth of house prices can alleviate affordability pressure, and negative share volumes remain low, we start to see the localized bags of recent home buyers financially exposed,” said Andy Walden, head of the mortgage and housing market research at ICE.
“Borrowers with minimal equity-especially those who have recently purchased are often the first to be exposed when house prices become soft. These early signs of stress emphasize the importance of monitoring the risk of borrowing level as market conditions evolve.”

In the meantime, the data from the dynamics of ICE -PRSPRijs are starting to show the impact of mitigating house prices on share positions in the security crimin risk transmission (CRT). The majority of the CRT deals issued in 2023 and 2024 have seen modest rises in negative stock percentages in recent months.
“While the figures from the July mortgage monitor extend themselves, national averages do not tell the full story,” said Tim Bowler, president of Ice MortGage Technology. “We see early signs of risk buildings within specific markets and within specific loan populations, such as borrowers with limited equity or those left on student loans.
“This is when proactive monitoring and data -driven risk management become essential. The identification and involvement of these borrowers can prevent hardships later.”
The Home Price Index of ICE showed that the annual growth delayed to 1.3% at the beginning of June, with prices in 30% of the large markets declining more than one percentage point than recent peaks. Although the valuation of cooling price can improve affordability, it also risks the erosion of equity for recent buyers, especially those with low-down payment loans via the FHA or US Department of Veterans Affairs (Va).
Nationally, 25% of the seriously delinquent loans would be under water if it is sold at distressed (REO) prices. The risk is higher in some markets. For example, 27% of 2023-2024 Vintage loans in Cape Coral, Florida, and 18% of the 2022 Vintage loans in Austin are now under water.
The ICE report also noted that the growing affordability pressure, with more than 8% of borrowers that finance houses with mortgages (weapons) or temporary buydowns this year, which reduce the monthly payments in the first few years of the loan. Although these loans offer short -term lighting, they can introduce future payment shocks if the interest rates remain increased or reset higher.
General mortgage performance
Serious delinquencies – Loans that have passed 90 or more days, but not in shielding – improved seasonal for the fifth consecutive month. But there are 56,000 more of these cases than a year ago, which represents a growth of 14%.
Disaster-related overdue delinquencies fell, with 2024 hurricane-related cases of almost 5,000 (26%) month during month and Los Angeles Wildfire-related delinquencies fall by 9% from May to June.
Scrapping activity continued to climb year after year for the third consecutive month, while the resources of the VA protection move through the pipeline.
FHA loans have caused many of the recent rise in non-current rates, which have risen by 12% year after year. For comparison: from and conventional delinquency rates, only 2%rose, while the rates for loans that were kept in the portfolio were stable.
