The MBA Purchase Index measures the number of mortgage applications specifically for the purchase of a single-family home. It is considered a leading indicator of future home sales and overall housing market health in the U.S. An upward trend in the index suggests growing buyer interest and potential strength in upcoming residential real estate data.
The index is based on the MBA's Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey, which covers approximately 75% of all U.S. retail residential mortgage applications.
