Bidenville Mortgage Depot! US Mortgage Purchase Demand Down -27% Since Last Year, Refi Demand Down -42% (Bidenflation, Stalling Economy = Bad News For Mortgage Market) – Confounded Interest – Anthony B. Sanders

Welcome to the Bidenville Mortgage Depot! Where Bidenflation (caused by idiotic energy policies, crazy Fed money printing and insane Federal spending) has caused The Fed to raise rates crushing the US mortgage market.

Mortgage applications decreased 1.4 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending June 2, 2023. This week’s results include an adjustment for the Memorial Day holiday.

The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, decreased 1.4 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Index decreased 12 percent compared with the previous week. The Refinance Index decreased 1 percent from the previous week and was 42 percent lower than the same week one year ago. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 2 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 13 percent compared with the previous week and was 27 percent lower than the same week one year ago.

The rest of the story.

The East Palestine Ohio train wreck is symbolic of Biden’s economic programs. I don’t think the Vacationer in Chief (40% of time as President has been on vacation) has been there yet.
