Between Biden’s push to tax those borrowers with good credit and reward those with bad credit and Rocket Mortgage annoucing 1% down payments in a declining home price economy, Biden’s housing market is looking more like a house of cards.

Here is another bit of bad news for the housing market.

Mortgage applications decreased 4.6 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending May 19, 2023.

The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, decreased 4.6 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Index decreased 5 percent compared with the previous week. The Refinance Index decreased 5 percent from the previous week and was 44 percent lower than the same week one year ago. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 4 percent from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 5 percent compared with the previous week and was 30 percent lower than the same week one year ago.

Here is the rest of the story.

My daughter will be 60 in August. She has been in banking since she was 19 and has been Senior VP of a Mortgage Co for many years. They eliminated her job on Monday. She didn't even have an inkling.

Thanks Joe.

“..Biden is really f’ing up the economy....”

Well, oDongo warned us that CreepyJoe was a general screw up.
Probably the only true words oDongo ever spoke.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’s not a glimpse into America’s future. 🤬
