  • ICE Mortgage Monitor: Affordability And Demand Continue To Suffer As Rates Hit 23-Year High - Lendable Equity Nearing Record Levels, Yet Borrower Retention Worst In 17 Years

    Date 06/11/2023

    • Rising rates and home prices have pushed the principal and interest (P&I) payment needed to purchase the median-priced home up $144 per month over the past 30 days to more than $2,500 for the first time
    • It now takes 40.6% of the median household income to cover monthly P&I – after averaging less than 25% over the past 35 years – making for the least affordable housing market since 1984
    • As a result, purchase-mortgage applications fell to 47% below pre-pandemic levels the week of Oct. 26 – the weakest they’ve been since rates began to rise
    • Further, annual home price growth continued to accelerate to +4.3% in September, though the monthly gain (+0.39%) was the weakest since January and a marked downshift from August’s revised +0.61%
    • However, with rates above 7.5%, affordability is at a 39-year low and purchase applications are waning; given these conditions it’s fair to expect prices to weaken later in 2023
    • Rising prices have brought mortgage-holder equity to within 2% of last year’s record highs in Q3 at $16.4T, $10.6T of which is available for homeowners to borrow against while keeping a 20% equity stake in the home
    • The bulk of refinance activity is equity driven, but retention of consumers post-refi is at its lowest in 17 years, due to an inability to identify and effectively market to those most likely to transact in this market
