The MBA Mortgage Market Index is a comprehensive measure of all mortgage loan applications during a given week. It includes all applications for conventional and government-sponsored loans for both home purchases and refinances. As a leading indicator of the housing market, it provides early insight into future home sales and construction activity. A rising index suggests increasing demand for housing and potential growth in the real estate sector.
The index is calculated based on a weekly survey of mortgage bankers, commercial banks, and thrifts conducted by the Mortgage Bankers Association. It covers approximately 75% of all retail residential mortgage applications in the United States.
