Mortgage origination activity drops to a 22-year low
Abstract
The mortgage industryโs 2022 slide in originations continued, with numbers falling last week to levels not seen since the Clinton administration. The Mortgage Bankers Association's Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage activity, dropped a seasonally adjusted 6.5% for the weekly period ending June 3. The Purchase Index fell 7% on a week-over-week basis. Average purchase loan sizes soared to several record highs in the first quarter. The FHA-backed 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose 10 basis points to 5.3%.
