  • Refinance volume continued to be strong in July as 30-year mortgage rates continued to reach new record lows.

  • HARP volume as a percentage of total refinance volume has steadily grown in 2012 as HARP enhancements took effect in the first and second quarters of this year. HARP volume represented 27 percent of total refinance volume in July 2012.

  • Borrowers in June and July 2012 with loan-to-value ratios greater than 105 percent accounted for more than half the volume of HARP loans as lenders began to sell Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities containing loans with LTV ratios greater than 125 percent as of June 1.
