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.
