| Mortgage Applications Technically Improve | ||
| 11/20/2024 2:41 PM | ||
| First thing"s first, mortgage applications increased last week, both for purchases and refinances! It was the first improvement for refi demand since mid September, when rates were well into their lowest levels in more than 2 years. Top tier conventional 30yr fixed rates were being quoted at around 6% at the time, but moved rapidly up to 7%+ ...Read More | ||

| The most common interval for scheduled economic data is "monthly." That means that things like inflation, sentiment, job counts, unemployment, retail sales, and many other economic metrics are updated and released every month, even when nothing very interesting is happening. On that note, there are several regularly scheduled housing related...Read More | ||
| Like Many Housing Metrics, Builder Confidence is Just Waiting For Lower Rates | ||
| 11/18/2024 2:28 PM | ||
| Historically low interest rates may not have guaranteed historically high levels of housing activity, but exceptionally high rates have definitely muted activity in a measurable way. We"ve cataloged this incessantly when it comes to refinance activity, but there"s a correlation with home sales as well. The Housing Market Index (HMI) fro...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Applications Keep Kicking The Can | ||
| 11/13/2024 2:11 PM | ||
| It"s not entirely clear if it"s a can or the proverbial bucket. All we know is that mortgage applications have been kicking it. There"s no great way to make the news interesting now that loan volume has done what anyone would have expected it to do, given the the rapid rise in rates over the past 6 weeks. Up until that point, there had...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Demand Regressing Amid Rapid Rate Spike | ||
| 11/6/2024 1:36 PM | ||
| In today"s weekly mortgage application survey from the MBA, the average 30yr fixed mortgage rate only rose from 6.73 to 6.81%. Meanwhile, daily average rates are already back over 7%. Any way you slice it, rates have been rising quickly and the fallout is completely unsurprising when it comes to refinance applications. For context, h...Read More | ||
| Existing Home Sales Update: Still Bad | ||
| 10/23/2024 2:15 PM | ||
| Housing was chugging right along in early 2020, then covid happened. Housing experienced lots of unexpected volatility with the most important development being a huge increase in demand and prices... at first. Once rates began skyrocketing (relatively) and the frenzy began to subside, home sales numbers tanked to the weakest levels since th...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Apps Aren"t Crashing. They"re Just Being Logical | ||
| 10/23/2024 1:53 PM | ||
| The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) keeps track of applications for purchase and refi mortgages every week. Purchase apps are slower moving, less responsive to rates, and generally bouncing along the lowest levels in more than 20 years since the end of 2023. As such, we"ll forget about them and move on to refi applications which have...Read More | ||
| Mixed Signals in New Home Construction Data | ||
| 10/18/2024 2:01 PM | ||
| While this technically signals some cooling in new construction potential, it wasn"t much more of a drop than investors expected. Moreover, there has been a gradual cooling trend intact for more than 2 years. That"s not as ominous as it sounds considering construction activity is still higher than it was in mid-2019. Housin...Read More | ||
| Purchase Applications Respond to Another Small Rate Dip | ||
| 9/4/2024 7:14 AM | ||
| Interest rates continued their slow decline last week while application volume is inching up almost as slowly. The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reports a 1.6 percent increase in its seasonally adjusted Market Composite Index , a measure of mortgage loan application volume. On an unadjusted basis, the Index gained 0.2 percent over the prior w...Read More | ||
| Pending Home Sales Set a New Record, but not in a Good Way | ||
| 8/29/2024 10:54 AM | ||
| Home sale numbers continue to retreat and in July the National Association of Realtors’® (NAR) Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI) fell to its lowest level…. Ever! Based on signed sales contracts for existing single-family houses, townhomes, condos, and cooperative apartments, the PHSI was down 5.5 percent from June to 70.2.
