The GSE's gross mortgage portfolio has expanded in only three of the last 64 months since June 2010.

The serious delinquency rate on single-family mortgage loans backed by Fannie Mae is still well below its pre-crisis levels after declining by three basis points in September down to 1.59 percent. The serious delinquency rate on Fannie Mae-backed single-family mortgage loans has declined every quarter since Q1 2010.

With that expansion of the total mortgage portfolio came a drop of four basis points in the serious delinquency rate for loans backed by Freddie Mac, down to 1.41 percent—a year-over-year decline of more than half a percentage point, from 1.96 percent in September 2014.

For the first eight months of 2015, Fannie Mae's gross mortgage portfolio has contracted at an annualized rate of 12.6 percent; the only two months that saw expansion were January and March at a rate of 3.5 percent and 7.8 percent, respectively.

The serious delinquency rate on Freddie Mac-backed loans is now seven basis points lower than it was in November 2008 at the start of the financial crisis (1.52 percent) and nearly 2 percentage points lower than the national serious delinquency rate reported by CoreLogic for July 2015 (3.4 percent).

The serious delinquency rate on Freddie Mac-backed single-family residential mortgage loans fell by another 5 basis points from June to July, down to 1.48 percent and is now lower than the 1.52 percent serious delinquency rate reported for Freddie Mac-guaranteed loans in November 2008 at the start of the financial crisis.

The serious delinquency rate on Freddie Mac-backed single-family residential mortgage loans fell by another 5 basis points from May to June, down to 1.53 percent.

The serious delinquency rate on single-family loans backed by Freddie Mac dipped by another eight basis points from April to May, down to 1.58 percent. It is the lowest serious delinquency rate for Freddie Mac since November 2008, at the onset of the crisis, when 1.52 percent was reported.

Meanwhile, the serious delinquency rate on Freddie Mac-backed single-family mortgage loans, dropped by seven basis points down to 1.66 percent, its lowest level since reporting 1.52 percent in November 2008 just as the crisis was beginning.

Fannie Mae's gross mortgage portfolio has now expanded in two of the last three months following an increase at a compound annualized rate of 7.8 percent in March, according to Fannie Mae's March 2015 Monthly Volume Summary released Thursday.
