These are mortgage loans that are "three monthly payments or more past due or in foreclosure".
The Fannie Mae serious delinquency rate peaked in February 2010 at 5.59% following the housing bubble, and peaked at 3.32% in August 2020 during the pandemic.

9.09% are seriously delinquent (down from 9.33%), For recent loans, originated in 2009 through 2021 (96% of portfolio), 1.82% are seriously delinquent (down from 1.94%). So Fannie is still working through a few poor performing loans from the bubble years.
