Discussion of MBA Mortgage Market Data October 16, 2013 Mike Fratantoni Vice President, Single-family Research & Policy Development mfratantoni@mba.org Presented by David H. Stevens President, Mortgage Bankers Association 21

Overview For more than twenty years, MBA s Weekly Applications Survey (or the Survey, or Weekly Apps) has provided a timely indicator of housing and mortgage market activity. Since the survey s inception in 1990, its indices have been a leading indicator of housing and mortgage finance activity. All unadjusted indexes are set equal to 100.00 for the week of March 16, 1990. Beginning with data from the week of September 16, 2011, released on September 21, 2011, MBA s Weekly Applications Survey was enhanced along a number of dimensions: Due to recruitment of new participants, MBA estimates the survey now captures more than 75% of all retail and direct channel mortgage applications, compared to 50% previously. There is now significantly more detail regarding the composition of applications, including the geographic and product mix of applications. MBA has collected additional information regarding mortgage rates. In addition to the rates previously reported, MBA now also reports on 5/1 ARM rates and 30-year fixed rates for jumbo loans. 22

Purchase Apps and Home Sales Historically, the purchase applications index has been highly correlated with and has led home sales data by 4-6 weeks. In the past few years, a rising cash share of purchases, changes in the share of applications going through the retail and consumer direct channels, and changes in the home sales data have led to some separation. 27

Discussion of New Mortgage Rate Series Each week mortgage lenders report their weekly interest rates and associated points in the Survey along with their mortgage application volumes. For conventional loans, the contract interest rates are for an 80% loan-to-value (LTV) loan. FHA loans have higher average LTVs. The points measure includes both origination fees and discount points. The following interest rates are covered: FRM 30-Year (Conforming) FRM 15-Year FRM 30-year Jumbo 5/1 ARM FHA 203(b) Survey participants must contribute a minimum number of each loan type to enter the calculation. 34

Credit Availability Index The Mortgage Credit Availability Index (MCAI) is calculated using several quantitative metrics related to borrower eligibility Credit score, loan type, loan-to-value ratio, etc. AllRegs Market Clarity Data MBA Proprietary Model Mortgage Credit Availability Index Metrics are combined to calculate the MCAI, a summary measure which indicates the availability of mortgage credit at a point in time. MCAI is a measure of mortgage credit supplied to the market. Unlike survey measures which only capture whether lending provisions are tightening or loosening, the MCAI provides a standardized quantitative metric that is solely focused on mortgage credit. 39

This was due to the high availability of low-doc; no-doc; stated income; interest-only loans. Also, the lending environment during that time made drawing cash against the equity in a home a common and accessible industry trend, making credit more available during that time while also carrying a high amount of risk. 42

Current Trends in the MCAI The MCAI is benchmarked to an index value of 100 in March 2012. Relative to the base period (March 2012), index values above 100 represent greater availability of mortgage credit while index values below 100 are an indication that mortgage lending standards have tightened.

Builder Application Survey The MBA s Builder Application Survey (BAS) measures loan application activity received by lenders affiliated with or who work in cooperation with home builders for loans on new single-family properties. This survey focuses solely on the new home sales market. The monthly BAS Press Release will track changes in national application volume, average loan size and loan products used for new home sales purchases. The MBA will also release a New Home Sales estimate. Release Date Second Week of the Month As the survey continues to expand, the MBA expects to phase in more detailed information including state- and metropolitan-level statistics. 44
