MBA data shows demand for newly constructed homes jumps 19%

 

2021 has brought something good – more mortgage applications for newly constructed homes. The Mortgage Bankers Association Builder Application Survey data shows that mortgage applications for newly constructed homes jumped 19% compared to last January. This demand is going to increase the demand for mortgage loans as well as help spur new development. All of this is great for the construction lending industry. More construction loans means more fee income, but it also means more work for lenders.

To help gain efficiency and handle the upcoming demand, many banks are looking for digital solutions to streamline their lending process.  Our construction loan automation solution eliminates spreadsheets and cut days off processing time. What does this mean? An 8-12% increase in draw interest, not to mention days saved. Cutting your processing time means your staff can handle more loans without getting overwhelmed.

With the increased demand for newly constructed housing comes an increased demand for construction loan administration. Construct can help you manage this demand.

Construction Loan Automation helps alleviate top concerns for banks in 2021

 

Each year BankDirector takes a pulse of the industry, asking top leaders what their biggest concerns are and what is on the minds of bankers around the country. This year, the answer was surprising. With the advancements in technology and the growing trend of M&A, banks are looking to differentiate themselves. How are financial institutions positioning themselves to do this?

One way is by keeping up with the digital demand. Customers and partners alike have become accustomed to modernized digital solutions for common banking practices. This includes an intuitive experience and automation options. The days of exchanging spreadsheets is over. BankLabs has seen an uptick in demand for construction loan automation software. Our solution, Construct, streamlines this process for banks. This not only saves them time but grows their net interest simultaneously. Vendors are seeking digitization from banks, making this software a great differentiator.

BankDirectors survey also revealed that 53% of those surveyed are concerned about net interest margin pressure when thinking about their institutions long term viability. How does Construct help your net interest? By accelerating cycle times, Construct helps you fund draw requests days earlier than before. We have found that on average, our clients increase their draw income by 8-12%.

With changes in face to face business interactions and increased acquisitions across the country, banks are looking to differentiate themselves with digitization and relieve net interest margin pressure. One tool they are finding useful in alleviating both concerns is Construct – a cloud based solution for automating your construction loan needs.
