WASHINGTON, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae today released the inaugural results of its quarterly Mortgage Lender Sentiment Survey. This new industry research initiative tracks insights into current lending activities and market expectations among senior mortgage executives at Fannie Mae's lending institution partners.
Results collected during the first two quarters of 2014 show greater consumer mortgage demand in the second quarter of the year, a steady and positive near-term mortgage demand outlook, and divergence between larger and smaller lenders in underwriting credit standards.
"This survey of lender attitudes presents current market information that may provide key inputs for all industry participants, including lenders and investors," said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae. "We have been conducting our monthly National Housing Survey for four years to gauge consumers' views and intentions, which affect the demand side of housing. This new survey of mortgage lenders serves as an indicator of supply-side conditions by assessing their current and expected outcomes. We believe that these two surveys, representing the views of both consumers and lenders, will complement each other to provide deeper market insights."
Our lender survey results show that consumer purchase mortgage demand has picked up from the first quarter to the second quarter of this year. Regarding the near-term outlook, lenders surveyed continue to report positive expectations, although expected growth remains modest.
"These results are broadly in line with other major indicators released recently, including the pickup in home sales in May, and also support our expectations of a steady but unspectacular rebound for housing during the second half of this year," said Duncan.
Additionally, the comparison between responses gathered from Fannie Mae's Mortgage Lender Sentiment Survey and National Housing Survey (among consumers) shows that mortgage executives are significantly more likely than consumers to say it is difficult for consumers to get a mortgage today. In addition, lenders' responses to questions regarding credit standards pointed to net tightening among smaller and mid-size lenders, but net easing among larger lenders. Changing regulatory requirements were cited as the most common reason for tightening credit among all lenders surveyed.
"Lenders have been trying to find ways to manage their operational costs and meet new regulatory rules," said Duncan. "They appear to feel cost constrained and, thus, may be applying more conservative standards in their lending practices."
