As mortgage payments and mortgage payments continue to fall while mortgage interest rates rise, homeowners are turning to another source of income, the Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC).
According to the August 2022 “Investments at a Glance: Monthly Chart” published by the HELOC Housing Policy Finance Center, the HELOC mortgage rate rose nearly 50% in the first five months of the year. compared to a year ago.
According to the report, the HELOC lending rate increased by 46.9% from January to May 2022 compared to the same period last year.
Sales rose from $68.6 billion a year ago to $100.8 billion this year. In the first five months of the year, mortgage loans rose 43.2% to $38.1 billion, up 43.2% from $26.6 billion in the previous five months. The first month of 2021.
HELOC mortgage rates are the highest since 2011. Mortgage lending slowed significantly as interest rates hit a 12-year high, the report said.
“Total issuance value increased from $1.13 trillion in the first half of 2021 to $650 billion in the first half of 2022. This represents a significant decline in reinvestment, which will continue in 2020 and 21.
Reports show that borrowers used lower mortgage rates to lower their monthly payments, which in turn increased lenders’ profits.
But when mortgage rates went up, that all changed. Mortgage bankers nationwide reported Wednesday that the 30-year mortgage rate was 6.01 percent, breaking above 6 percent for the first time since 2008.
Mortgage yields have fallen due to high-interest rates, and homeowners have taken advantage of rising home prices over the past two years to increase their assets.
According to the report, total loan repayments for all federal agency loans (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, and Veterans Affairs) reached $66 billion per month through March 2021. In June 2022, the number dropped to more than 76. Up to $15.7 billion, according to reports.
According to the report, HELOCs and mortgages differ from refinancing in two ways.
First, they are non-incorporated assets that are usually kept on bank books or sold privately.
On the other hand, Fannie, Freddie, FHA, and VA accept withdrawals. Second, HELOCs and mortgages often have higher credit score requirements and stricter enforcement than cash payments.
In particular, HELOCs require good credit. An estimated 45% of HELOC founders have a credit score of 780 or higher so far this year.
The report says mortgage rates are likely to remain low for the foreseeable future because many borrowers are unwilling to give up lower interest rates on their current mortgages.
“This suggests that demand for HELOCs and home equity loans will remain strong, especially given the current lack of renewals by homeowners,” the report said. “We also expect home loan economics to improve as lenders look for ways to help lenders maintain their size.”
Credit scores on business loans have fallen since mortgage rates began to rise, the report said. “It is unlikely to completely replace refinancing, but HELOCs and mortgages are likely to increase in the near term,” the report said.
