Weekly Market Report


For Week Ending November 14, 2020

The Mortgage Bankers Association reported this week that mortgage credit availability increased in October, the first increase since July. Increasing credit availability means that lending standards are loosening, albeit slightly. Overall, credit availability increased for low credit scores and higher LTV loans, with convention credit supply increasing 5.1 percent, while government credit supply was effectively flat. Although the October increase was welcome news, credit availability remains near lows last seen in 2014.

  • New Listings decreased 6.3% to 981
