What’s happening in the housing market?
One of the key indicators to watch currently is the Mortgage Credit Availability Index. This essentially determines how willing lenders are to create new mortgages. That’s just recently dropped 2% in one month. The biggest impact? Government mortgages - essentially lower income borrowers with lower credit scores and less LTV down payment available, that dropped by 4.6%.
Another recent impact on the market is the countries largest mortgage lender UWM suspended its 21% dividend and lost a third of its value in one day.
What could really make this shaky market more ominous is if unemployment goes up. Foreclosures are up 21% YOY and Indiana is the third highest foreclosure market.
