Housing Finance at a Glance is a monthly reference guide for mortgage and housing market data. It includes over 80 curated and updated figures describing current trends in the US housing finance market, including housing affordability, credit availability, serious delinquency rates, and mortgage insurance activity.

These trends stood out most to housing finance policy researchers from this chartbook edition:

• The total value of the single-family housing market rose by 1.0 percent over the past year (Page 6).
• Flat house prices have helped mortgage affordability (Page 24).
• House prices are rising in the Northeast and Midwest, but falling in the South and West (Page 26).

This month the chartbook includes a quarterly special feature of the Q1 2026 GSE credit and performance data.
