-- モーゲージ・バンカーズ・アソシエーション(MBA)が水曜日に発表したデータによると、4月17日までの週の住宅ローン申請件数は、借り換えと新規住宅購入申請の両方が堅調に伸びたことを受け、7.9%増加した。これは、30年固定金利住宅ローンの金利が低下したことが要因である。 これは、4月10日までの週の全体的な活動が1.8%増加したことに続く動きである。 借り換えローンの申請件数は6%増加し、新規購入ローンの申請件数は季節調整済みで10%増加した。 融資残高が832,750ドル以下の30年固定金利住宅ローンの平均契約金利は、中東和平合意への好反応を受け、前週の6.42%から6.35%に低下した。 「地政学的な不確実性にもかかわらず、住宅需要は依然として堅調な雇用市場に支えられており、昨年に比べて在庫水準が高いことから、国内のほとんどの地域で住宅購入者は買い手市場を経験している」と、MBAの上級副社長兼チーフエコノミストであるマイク・フラタントニ氏は述べた。
