December’s mortgage activity saw a slight uptick in refinance production. However, this increase was not enough to significantly impact overall production levels. The majority of December’s mortgage activity stemmed from purchase volume, reflecting a consistent trend in the current housing market.

“The Fed is expected to hold rates steady for longer as we continue to see a strong jobs market coupled with lowering inflation,” stated Andrew Rhodes, Senior Director and Head of Trading at MCT. “As we move into 2025, nonfarm payroll and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) will continue to be critical data points providing insight into any potential rate cuts. However, the more immediate focus is on the incoming administration policy changes and their effect on the market.”

The market is currently pricing in an expectation of higher mortgage rates for a longer period, influenced by stronger-than-expected nonfarm payroll numbers and the conservative nature of the Federal Reserve’s dot plot projections.

MCT’s latest report offers an in-depth analysis of these factors, providing valuable insights to lenders, investors, and industry stakeholders as they navigate the shifting mortgage landscape.

MCT’s Lock Volume Indices present a snapshot of rate lock volume activity in the residential mortgage industry broken out by lock type (purchase, rate/term refinance, and cash out refinance) across a broad diversity of lenders (e.g., sizes, products/services offered, business models) from MCT’s national footprint.
