ICE's February 2025 Mortgage Monitor Report reveals that 2024 experienced the lowest home price growth since 2011, ending at 3.4%. Home inventory increased 22% in 2024, reaching its highest level since mid-2020, with southern states leading the recovery to pre-pandemic levels.
The report highlights significant challenges from natural disasters, particularly the L.A. fires affecting 17,000 homes and condos. Early data shows nearly 5% fewer mortgage holders in fire-affected areas made January payments compared to December. Additionally, over 56,000 homeowners across seven states are still recovering from last year's hurricanes.
Mortgage performance shows a mixed picture: while overall delinquency rates remain 22 basis points below pre-pandemic levels, FHA delinquencies are rising significantly, now 2.5 percentage points above pre-pandemic levels. VA delinquencies also increased by 80 basis points in 2024. Despite these trends, 2024 saw record-low foreclosure rates due to forbearance programs and strong equity positions.
