Refinance applications faded lower than 2020 amounts for the past four months, according to the MBA. Home purchase applications declined 1% for the week and came in 14% when compared to a year ago.</p>\n<p>Joel Kan, MBA’s associate vice president of economic and industry forecasting, said:</p>\n<blockquote>\n “Swift home-price growth across much of the country, driven by insufficient housing supply, is weighing on the purchase market and is pushing average loan amounts higher.”\n</blockquote>\n<p>With real estate prices at all-time highs at almost every market in country, it’s hard to imagine much mortgage loan growth going forward.

They can “borrow” from checking and savings depositors at close to zero and from the Federal Reserve at 0.25% and lend a 30-year mortgage at 3% and all is good in the world.</p>\n<p>Recovery from defaults is included in those lending calculations, of course. But something always happens. In September 2009, mortgages in the U.S. that were delinquent or in default rose to an astounding 14.4% of all mortgages.</p>\n<p>But wait, don’t they sell all their loans to third-party purchasers like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Yes they do, but RKT usually retains the servicing rights, meaning handling loan payments and collections.

Delinquency rates are low at 0.72%. But as many prognosticators learned the hard way in 2007 and 2008. They statedreal estate never goes down, but things change. They always do.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation of RKT Stock</b></p>\n<p>The very cyclical nature and highly competitive nature of mortgage banking makes it almost impossible to deliver consistently high economic returns and steady growth. Like banks, most analysts use price-to-book value as a metric. RKT stock has been selling for more than 3 times book value.</p>\n<p>Low P/Es are meaningless for companies like this because of the severe volatility of earnings based on the factors mentioned above.
