Overall delinquencies at at 3.2%, same as last quarter – however there are 3 trends to notice:

Must be tempting to be able to tap into that sweet, sweet equity. If your house tripled in value over the last few years, and you’ve got some investments to make, why not?

Why are Americans so addicted to debt? What happened?

I did it in 2021 refinancing our 3 year old house from 4.25% to 2.25%. Was able to go from 30 years to 15 years and get $50k at closing while keeping our monthly payment the same.
I doubt that’ll be possible for anyone anytime soon.

Are we back to using our houses as ATM machines? What’s next? Subprime mortgages?
