DALLAS -- (March 14, 2016) The volatile jumbo category led a weekly decline in new mortgage activity as rates ascended. Adjustable-rate activity, however, accelerated.
In the week that ended on March 11, the U.S. Mortgage Market Index from OpenClose and Mortgage Daily was determined to be 153.
The MMI, a reflection of average per-user rate locks submitted by OpenClose clients, was down 11 percent compared to the previous week.
Activity covered in the index includes rate locks from the previous Friday through midnight Thursday. The index was benchmarked at 197 in the week ended Dec. 16, 2009.
Business

Leading down the MMI were rate locks for jumbo mortgages, which sank by a third from the week ended March 4. Jumbo share tumbled to 5 percent from 7 percent a week earlier.
Interest rates on jumbo loans were about the same as on conforming mortgages. Jumbo rates had been eight basis points lower than conforming rates in the last report.
A 19 percent week-over-week decline was recorded for refinance business. Refinance share slid to 68 percent from 75 percent.
Up next were rate locks for conventional mortgages, which declined 12 percent from the last report.
Rate locks for loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration slipped 6 percent. FHA share widened to 25 percent from 24 percent a week prior.
A 5 percent decline left the Purchase MMI at 71.
Unlike all other categories, rate locks for adjustable-rate mortgages increased from the previous report -- by 11 percent. As fixed rates rise, prospective borrowers with new loans in process often rush in to lock lower ARM rates. ARM share widened to 8 percent from 7 percent one week prior.
Overall business slowed this past week as 30-year fixed rates ascended four BPS from the last report to 3.68 percent.
Rates on 15-year mortgages were 72 BPS better than 30-year rates. The spread widened from 70 BPS 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.
