PRESS RELEASE
Mortgage Market Index Up, Record Cashout Share
|
|
|
DALLAS -- (Jan. 8, 2018) As rising rates have driven down the share of borrowers seeking rate-term refinances to the lowest level in six months, rising home values have driven the share of borrowers seeking cashout loans to a record high.
The U.S. Mortgage Market Index from Mortgage Daily, an indication of upcoming loan originations based on average per-user rate locks by OpenClose customers, was 92 in the week ended Jan. 5.
That was a 29 percent improvement for the index compared to the previous week, which included Christmas. There are no adjustments made to the index for seasonal variations.
A 7 percent decline in business was recorded versus the same week last year.
Rate locks for refinances soared from the week ended Dec. 29, 2017, by 37 percent -- the most of any category.
Refinance share was 43 percent, wider than 41 percent a week earlier. The latest week's refinance share included a 29 percent cashout share -- the widest share on record since the Mortgage Market Index was launched in late 2009. The broadening cashout share is being driven by rising home prices, which in many areas have reached a record high while padding the equity of homeowners.
The Conventional MMI increased 29 percent to 56.
Government rate locks climbed 28 percent from the last report. Government share was trimmed to 39.5 percent from 39.8 percent.
The Purchase MMI ascended 23 percent from the prior week to 52.
Rate locks for jumbo mortgages slipped 2 percent. At 11 percent, jumbo share was more narrow than 14 percent a week ago. The spread between jumbo rates and conforming rates widened to 57 basis points from 55 BPS.
A 10 percent drop from last week for adjustable-rate mortgage rate locks was the worst week-over-week performance. ARM share was slashed to 11 percent from 15 percent. |

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.
