2 An Update on Housing Market and Mortgage Performance in Virginia 1 st Quarter, 2014 Summary of Findings This report analyzes the size, composition, and performance of prime and subprime home mortgages in Virginia. It also provides information on trends in the state s housing market and charts with metropolitan area and county level data. State Delinquency and Foreclosure Rates The total foreclosure rate in Virginia edged down from 1.0 percent in March 2013 to 0.6 percent in March Over the same period, the 90+ day delinquency rate fell from 2.4 percent to 1.9 percent. (Table 7) The prime foreclosure rate in Virginia declined from 0.9 percent to 0.6 percent over the twelve months ending March Over the same period, the prime 90+ day delinquency rate fell from 2.2 percent to 1.8 percent. (Table 8) The state s subprime foreclosure rate fell from 2.8 percent in March 2013 to 1.4 percent in March 2014 while the delinquency rate fell from 9.0 percent to 5.8 percent. (Table 9) Subprime mortgages make up 28.2 percent of Virginia s foreclosure inventory but only 6.4 percent of all mortgages. Virginia is ranked 45 th in the nation in its share of subprime loans. (Figure 2 and Table 4) Metro Area Highlights In March, the Bristol MSA had the highest subprime foreclosure rate in the state (2.9 percent); however, every metro area reported a rate lower than the U.S. of 5.4 percent. Meanwhile, the Virginia Beach MSA had the highest subprime delinquency rate of 6.8 percent while Harrisonburg reported the lowest rate of 0.4 percent. (Table 9) Prime foreclosure rates in the state s metro areas ranged from 0.4 to 0.9 percent in March 2014, which were all lower than the U.S. rate of 1.8 percent. (Table 8) The Virginia portion of the Washington, D.C. MSA continued to post the highest share of adjustable rate and interest-only mortgages in the state at 15.3 and 6.2 percent, respectively. (Table 6) State Economic Conditions and Looking Forward Rising house prices can help to reduce the possibility of mortgage delinquency or foreclosure. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, house prices in Virginia decreased 0.1 percent in the first quarter of 2014 but increased 1.6 percent over the year. Lower rates of unemployment can also reduce the likelihood of mortgage default since job loss can affect a household s ability to repay. The Virginia unemployment rate (NSA) was 5.3 percent in March 2014 well below the national unemployment rate, which currently stands at 6.8 percent.
