Is Getting a Mortgage Getting Easier?

You probably heard from me by now that the real estate market is hot so far this year. What you may still be wondering, though, is how supportive mortgage lending is to the whole market rebound.

The following post talks about the current Mortgage Availability Credit Index provided by the Mortgage Bankers’ Association (MBA) through March 2015. According to the MBA, the index is a “summary measure which indicates the availability of mortgage credit at a point in time.” So, how loose is this credit?

I invite you to take a look at the graphic showing the index performance and the reasons behind it here: Is Getting a Mortgage Getting Easier?
