Despite a short period of decrease after the burst of the U.S. housing bubble and the global financial crisis, the total amount of mortgage debt in the United States has been on the rise in recent years. In the third quarter of 2025, the mortgage debt amounted to 21.35 trillion U.S. dollars, up from 13.87 trillion U.S. dollars a decade ago. Which factors impact the amount of mortgage debt? One of the most important factors responsible for the growth of mortgage debt is the number of home sales: The more home transactions, the more mortgages are sold, adding to the volume of debt outstanding. Additionally, as house prices increase, so does the gross lending and debt outstanding. On the other hand, high numbers of housing unit foreclosures and mortgage debt restructuring and short-sales can reduce mortgage debt. Which property type has the largest share of the mortgage market? The total mortgage debt includes different property types, such as one-to-four family residential, multifamily residential, commercial, and farm, but the overwhelming share of debt can be attributed to mortgage debt one-to-four family residences.

The loan-to-value ratios in Kansas, Louisiana and Kentucky amounted to ** percent in 2019, which means that on average the value of mortgages constituted ** percent of the value of the residential property in those states. The LTV ratio is calculated by dividing the mortgage amount by the purchase price of the home. The trend seems to be that southern and midwestern states have higher ratios than those in the Northeast or West of the country, which is in line with regional home prices. Areas with higher home prices tend to have lower LTV ratios.

What is the LTV ratio used for? Lenders use this ratio to determine how risky a loan is, because a higher ratio means that the loan is riskier to the lender. Generally, a good LTV ratio for a home loan is ** percent or lower, which means that the loan is worth ** percent of less of the value of the home. Loans are granted if the ratio is higher than that, but only if the loan applicant takes out mortgage guaranty insurance, also known as private mortgage insurance, to cover the lender.

In the United States, interest rates for all mortgage types started to increase in 2021. This was due to the Federal Reserve introducing a series of hikes in the federal funds rate to contain the rising inflation. In the second quarter of 2025, the 30-year fixed rate dropped slightly, to **** percent. The rate remained below the peak of **** percent in the fourth quarter of 2023. Why have U.S. home sales decreased? Cheaper mortgages normally encourage consumers to buy homes, while higher borrowing costs have the opposite effect. As interest rates increased in 2022, the number of existing homes sold plummeted. Soaring house prices over the past 10 years have further affected housing affordability. Between 2014 and 2024, the median price of an existing single-family home risen by about ** percent. On the other hand, the median weekly earnings have risen much slower. Comparing mortgage terms and rates Between 2008 and 2024, the average rate on a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage in the United States stood between **** and **** percent. Over the same period, a 30-year mortgage term averaged a fixed-rate of between **** and **** percent. Rates on 15-year loan terms are lower to encourage a quicker repayment, which helps to improve a homeowner’s equity.

The Public Use Database (PUDB) is released annually to meet FHFA’s requirement under 12 U.S.C. 4543 and 4546(d) to publicly disclose data about the Enterprises’ single-family and multifamily mortgage acquisitions. The datasets supply mortgage lenders, planners, researchers, policymakers, and housing advocates with information concerning the flow of mortgage credit in America’s neighborhoods. Beginning with data for mortgages acquired in 2018, FHFA has ordered that the PUDB be expanded to include additional data that is the same as the data definitions used by the regulations implementing the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, as required by 12 U.S.C. 4543(a)(2) and 4546(d)(1).The PUDB single-family datasets include loan-level records that include data elements on the income, race, and sex of each borrower as well as the census tract location of the property, loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, age of mortgage note, and affordability of the mortgage. New for 2018 are the inclusion of the borrower’s debt-to-income (DTI) ratio and detailed LTV ratio data at the census tract level. The PUDB multifamily property-level datasets include information on the unpaid principal balance and type of seller/servicer from which the Enterprise acquired the mortgage. New for 2018 is the inclusion of property size data at the census tract level. The multifamily unit-class files also include information on the number and affordability of the units in the property. Both the single-family and multifamily datasets include indicators of whether the purchases are from “underserved” census tracts, as defined in terms of median income and minority percentage of population.Prior to 2010 the single-family PUDB consisted of three files: Census Tract, National A, and National B files. With the 2010 PUDB a fourth file, National C, was added to provide information on high-cost mortgages acquired by the Enterprises. The single-family Census Tract file includes information on the location of the property based on the 2010 Census for acquisition years 2012 through 2021, and the 2020 Census beginning with the 2022 acquisition year. The National files contain other information but lack detailed geographic information in order to protect Enterprise proprietary data. The multifamily datasets also consist of a Census Tract file, and a National file without detailed geographic information.Several dashboards are available to analyze the data:Enterprise Multifamily Public Use Database DashboardThe Enterprise Multifamily Public Use Database (PUDB) Dashboard provides users an interactive way to generate and visualize Enterprise PUDB data of multifamily mortgage acquisitions by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It shows characteristics about multifamily loans, properties and units at the national level, and characteristics about multifamily loans and properties at the state level. It includes key statistics, time series charts, and state maps of multifamily housing characteristics such as median loan amount, number of properties, average number of units per property, and unit affordability. The underlying aggregate statistics presented in the dashboard come from three multifamily data files in the Enterprise PUDB, updated annually since 2008, including two property-level datasets and a data file on the size and affordability of individual units.Enterprise Multifamily Public Use DashboardPress Release - FHFA Releases Data Visualization Dashboard for Enterprises’ Multifamily Mortgage AcquisitionsMortgage Loan and Natural Disaster DashboardFHFA published an interactive Mortgage Loan and Natural Disaster Dashboard that combines FHFA’s PUDB reports on single-family and multifamily acquisitions for the regulated entities, FEMA’s National Risk Index (NRI), and FHFA’s Duty to Serve 2023 High-Needs rural areas.
