New Data Outlines Consumer Attitude Shift for the Purpose of Mortgage Refinance Loan from Rate Reduction to Pulling Out Cash

By: PRLog
BELLEAIR BEACH, Fla. - Sept. 20, 2018 - PRLog -- Despite increasing rates, consumers remain interested in refinance mortgage loans, but now with a new purpose: pulling out cash from home equity. The Q2 2018 Mortgage Consumer Profile Report, which is published by Best Rate Referrals, explores the reality that, with mortgage rates higher than they've been in recent years, the majority of refinance mortgages are focused on cash-out objectives instead of the rate-reducing objectives previously prioritized. Rising home prices across the U.S. have boosted homeowners' equity to record-setting levels. According to this report, the median value of a U.S. home was $298,170 in the second quarter of 2018. Homeowners still see their homes, which is often their largest investment, as a source of cash. Cash-out and home equity line of credit (HELOC) refinance loans are often tied to expense-driven objectives, such as weddings, vacations, educational expenses and home remodels, as shown in this report, and may be more likely to appeal to a younger, higher-income household.

WHAT: Not all prospective borrowers have the same motivation, concerns or financial constraints. The data in the Q2 2018 Mortgage Consumer Profile Report can be used to recognize the various consumer segments that likely represent borrowers for most U.S. mortgage lenders.

WHO: Best Rate Referrals, an award-winning consumer finance marketing leader, publishes the quarterly report.

WHERE: The FREE report is now available for download at insights.digitalmediasolutions.com.

The data in the Q2 2018 Mortgage Consumer Profile Report is comprised of inquiries generated by Best Rate Referrals during the period of January 2018-June 2018, with an emphasis on April-June 2018, combined with Neustar ElementOne data. Subjectivity was applied to Neustar ElementOne data, at times combining high-indexing characteristics to define attributes.
