(SAN DIEGO, Calif.) — NEWS: Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT®), the de facto leader in innovative mortgage capital markets technology, has announced a 15.12% decrease in mortgage lock volume compared to the previous month. The data, reflecting current market dynamics, is available in MCT’s latest report, which offers in-depth analysis and insights for industry professionals and stakeholders.
While the market exhibited relative stability post-election, a clear downtrend in refinance activity was observed as interest rates settled. Heading into the winter months and with a new presidential administration taking office in January, volatility concerns remain a focal point for the industry. Current expectations suggest that mortgage volume will stay low through the early months of the year.
Andrew Rhodes, Senior Director and Head of Trading at MCT, commented on the outlook: “Most lenders have already priced in at least one rate cut in either December or January. Barring unforeseen events, mortgage rates are predicted to remain relatively steady through the winter months.”
Industry forecasts indicate that rates are likely to hold or increase slightly, further dampening refinance activity. With the evolving market landscape, industry professionals are encouraged to stay informed of potential shifts in the coming months.
