U.S. Mortgage Shares Remain Flat Since Late August

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, or the MBA,

their latest data collections and surveys on volume and overall forbearance, it had shown that the number of overall loans that were now in the state of forbearance had stayed unchanged compared to the prior weeks of August, where they reached about 7.20%. With this data, the MBA estimated also that about 3.6 million homeowners were now beginning or were already in the stage of forbearance.  

An example of this is the shares seen with Freddie and Fannie Mac loans

as the overall forbearance had dropped to about 4.88% in the overall 12 weeks that had occurred in August. With Ginnie Mac, their loans increased by about 4 basis points, landing about 9.58% in total. Then for the percentages of both the portfolio loans and PLS, they increased by 7 points, landing at about 10.44%. Lastly, the percentages for IMB or independent banks had decreased by about 7.41%.

Some, much like Mike Fratantoni, who is the MBA’s Senior Vice President, claims that these shares are uncharged thanks to the declines in GSE loans while Ginnie Mac and PSL loans increased. This then caused the status of forbearance loans to occur today as well as exceeding the rates of these requests. To Fratantoni, this is all most likely due to the job market’s overall conditions due to the pandemic.
