iEmergent gets actual mortgage data annually from the FFIEC through the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), which requires financial institutions to maintain and annually disclose data about home purchases, home purchase pre-approvals, home improvement, and refinance applications involving 1 to 4 unit and multifamily residential homes. Thus, nearly every loan and loan application made in the U.S. is recorded in this database. iEmergent provides historical data from HMDA dating back to 2001.
iEmergent's standard historical reports include HMDA unit and dollar totals for all purchase and refinance loans, as well as the totals for specific segments, including loan type segments, borrower race/ethnicity segments, loan size segments, and income group segments.
Behind our forecasts are a variety of data, including household and economic demographic data like household and housing data from the Census and American Community Survey and employment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At a basic level, iEmergent provides general household and homeowner counts and growth rates.
