IRVINE, Calif., May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ATTOM Data Solutions, curator of the nation's premier property database and first property data provider of Data-as-a-Service (DaaS), today released its first-quarter 2020 U.S. Residential Property Mortgage Origination Report, which shows that 1.07 million refinance mortgages secured by residential property (1 to 4 units) were originated in the first quarter of 2020 in the United States. That figure was down 16 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019 but up 87 percent from the first quarter of 2019.

With interest rates continuing near all-time lows, refinance mortgages originated in the first quarter of 2020 represented an estimated $328.5 billion in total dollar volume, down 16 percent from the previous quarter but up 105 percent from a year ago.

Refinance loans accounted for 55.7 percent of all 1.92 million home loans in the first quarter of 2020, virtually the same as the 55.9 percent of loans in the fourth quarter of 2019, but up from 41.3 percent in the first quarter of 2019.

Historical Residential Mortgage Originations Graphic

"Home-loan data was way up again in the first quarter of the year, with refinancing activity again accounting for more than half the total volume of mortgages. The number and dollar value of home loans marked yet another sign of the how charged up the U.S. housing market continued to be in the early months of the year when everything was still pointing in the right direction," said Todd Teta, chief product officer at ATTOM Data Solutions. "Unfortunately, that is all uncertain now due to the economic fallout from the virus pandemic that could throw the market into a downturn. But at least the market heads that uncertainty with some of the strongest home loans – and by extension, overall market – numbers since the aftermath of the last recession."

Refinance originations increase in most of nation, including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago
Lenders originated 1,070,986 refinance mortgages in the first quarter of 2020, down 16 percent from the fourth quarter but up 87 percent from the first quarter of last year.

Residential loans backed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) accounted for 9.7 percent of all residential property loans originated in the first quarter of 2020, representing an all-time high, since we began tracking in the first quarter of 2000.

Report methodology
ATTOM Data Solutions analyzed recorded mortgage and deed of trust data for single-family homes, condos, town homes and multi-family properties of two to four units for this report. Each recorded mortgage or deed of trust was counted as a separate loan origination. Dollar volume was calculated by multiplying the total number of loan originations by the average loan amount for those loan originations.
