Lock Volume Rises 3.2% in April, Driven by Uptick in FHA Loans, Despite Economic Volatility
- Optimal Blue's April 2025 Market Advantage data report shows stronger purchase activity, a shifting loan mix, and signs of investor caution - PLANO, Texas, May 13, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Optimal Blue today released its April 2025 Market Advantage mortgage data report showing total loan lock volume rose 3.2% month-over-month (MoM) as the spring homebuying season progressed, with purchase locks up 7.5% despite ongoing economic pressures. April kicked off with significant volatility in the bond market as investors responded to tariff announcements. Over the first 10 days of the month, interest rates fluctuated between 6.48% and 6.98%, a 50-basis-point (bps) range. The benchmark OBMMI 30-year conforming fixed rate briefly fell below 6.5% for the first time since October 2024 before climbing to end the month at 6.7%, about 10 bps above where it started. 'Last month's report showed early signs of spring homebuyer activity, and April confirms the season is underway with a solid increase in purchase locks,' said Brennan O'Connell, director of data solutions at Optimal Blue. 'We also saw a shift toward FHA loans, often used by first-time or credit-challenged buyers, and away from non-conforming products, possibly reflecting investor caution in response to broader economic uncertainty.'
