Good morning, i'm jeff farnham ?
With interest rates falling for the sixth straight month, homeowners continued to grab the chance to purchase or refinance in june.
?
According to ellie mae, we are seeing a rebound in the purchase market which represents 42 percent of all closed loans while refinances represent 58%.
?
The mortgage bankers association's survey also showed that the new home purchase market is making progress toward a lively home-buying summer season.
?
The survey showed that overall mortgage applications were 54 percent higher than last year for new home purchases.
?
Applications surged 20% in june alone.
?
These numbers reinforce the fact that home-buying activity that was delayed by the pandemic in march and april is just being realized later in the season.
?
The fact that applications are up over 50% from last june reinforces that point even further.
?
Mba estimates the new single- family home sales is at the strongest levels of activity since january.
?
And depending on the loan type, basis points dropped anywhere from 2 to 4 points for a 30-year fixed mortgage.
?
Lower interest rates are also fueling home- buying demand.
?
Because of this housing is expected to lead an overall economic recovery.
?
As existing home inventory remains low, builders are seeing strong interest in new construction.
?
According to the latest national association of home builders, builder confidence in the market for newly built single- family homes spiked 14 points in july already.
?
The housing market index now stands at the pre- pandemic reading it posted in march and rose 10 points in the south alone.
?
Needless to say, the housing market is going strong moving into the late summer months.
