PRESS RELEASE
Weekly Mortgage Market Index Rises
|
|
|
DALLAS -- (Dec. 12, 2016) New mortgage activity increased for the second consecutive week likely due to anticipation of a rate hike next week by the Federal Reserve.
In the seven-day period that concluded on Dec. 9, the U.S. Mortgage Market Index from Mortgage Daily and OpenClose came in at 157.
The index, an indication of upcoming originations based on average per-user rate locks by OpenClose clients, climbed 22 percent from a week prior.
It was the second week in a row that business improved.
Compared to the same week last year, a 23 percent gain has been recorded for the index.
Rate locks for refinances leapt 43 percent from the week ended Dec. 2, 2016, leaving the Refinance MMI at 69. The week-over-week jump is odd given how rates have been consistently increasing as of late.
OpenClose Senior Vice President Vincent E. Furey III speculated about the refinance surge in a written statement.
"We saw a 13 percent decline in week over week new application activity but a surge in lock activity likely to preserve fundable pipeline and expectation of a Fed rate hike on Wednesday," Furey said.
Refinance share was 43.9 percent in the most-recent week. The share widened from 37.4 percent a week earlier.
Jumbo business climbed 31 percent from the last report. Jumbo share widened to 5 percent from 4 percent. The jumbo-conforming spread thinned to a negative 7 basis points from a negative 13 BPS last week.
The Government MMI was 62, up 26 from a week earlier. Government share widened to 40 percent from 38 percent.
A 19 percent week-over-week increase was recorded for conventional business, leaving the Conventional MMI at 95.
Rate locks for purchase financing increased 9 percent, with the Purchase MMI landing at 88.
The only category to experience weakening was the ARM MMI, with rate locks for adjustable-rate mortgages falling 15 percent.
ARM share thinned to 8 percent from 12 percent a week earlier. |

About the Mortgage Market Index
The U.S. Mortgage Market Index was first launched in December 2009 at 197.
The index, itself, reflects the average number of per-user rate locks by clients of OpenClose for the seven days ended each Thursday at midnight. OpenClose has been the data provider since June 2015.
The MMI is an excellent indicator of upcoming mortgage originations.
A byproduct of the Mortgage Market Index is a full report each week that includes the latest share by loan type, the jumbo-conforming spread and details about refinance and government activity -- as well as other important mortgage data.
