According to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) Builder Application Survey, while new home purchase applications rose in June, new home sales continued to slow, "consistent with broader declines in single-family construction and new building permits," said Joel Kan, MBA's VP and Deputy Chief Economist.
About us
Introducing MortgagePoint - MortgagePoint was created through numerous discussions with our readers, clients, and industry partners over the past few years. From these conversations, a few key insights emerged. While we take immense pride in the work accomplished by the Five Star reporting team with DS News and MReport, the artificial division between the two has become increasingly apparent. Our readership spans various industry professionals, including originators, default specialists, real estate agents, financial services GSEs, attorneys, service providers, fintech experts, and more. Reader feedback has made it evident that most of our audience engages with both publications, and this aligns with the intricate nature of the American housing and mortgage system. No component of this ecosystem exists in isolation. Economic factors influencing originations and refi volume can have implications on foreclosure rates, and shifts in default numbers can serve as indicators for the larger industry's direction in the future. Unlocking MortgagePoint - MortgagePoint provides businesses and individuals with access to the latest news in the mortgage industry. Users gain a comprehensive understanding of the mortgage landscape through its multimedia features, including a website, standard and digital magazines, webinars, and interviews with industry experts. Moreover, MortgagePoint offers insights into national loan origination and servicing, loss mitigation, and default servicing news. This invaluable information empowers businesses to make well-informed decisions regarding their future strategies while staying ahead of industry changes.
