Mortgage balances grew by $131 billion and totaled $12.94 trillion at the end of June. Auto loan balances also increased, rising by $13 billion to reach $1.66 trillion. The pace of mortgage originations increased slightly, with $458 billion in newly originated mortgages in the second quarter. HELOC balances rose by $9 billion to $411 billion, representing the thirteenth consecutive quarterly increase. Student loan balances edged up by $7 billion and stood at $1.64 trillion, with student loans seeing another uptick in the rate at which balances moved from current to delinquent due to the resumption of reporting of delinquent student loans. Aggregate delinquency rates remained elevated in the second quarter, with 4.4 percent of outstanding debt in some stage of delinquency.

There is now $411 billion in outstanding HELOC balances, $94 billion above the low reached in the first quarter of 2022. Credit card balances rose by $27 billion during the second quarter and now total $1.21 trillion outstanding and are 5.87% above the level a year ago. Auto loan balances rose by $13 billion, and now stand at $1.66 trillion. Other balances, which include retail cards and consumer finance loans, were roughly unchanged at $540 billion.
