Manufactured Home Industry Insiders on Lending, Outlook – Contrasted with AEI, MBA Mortgage Data, plus Manufactured Housing Investing, Stock Updates

DowJones4.28.2020ManufacturedHomeStockUpdatesBroaderMarketSnapshotProgramming Notice: An exclusive special report with new information concerning Clayton Homes involving numbers of their employees is pending on MHProNews. Watch for it.

 

Besides tips from whistleblowers and tipsters, there are also insights that come to MHProNews from corporate managers, association leadership and others that shed light on issues of importance to manufactured housing professionals and investors.

Some of that information is on the record, as was the case with fascinating research from Marcus and Millichap.

More such information is provided in this evening courtesy of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) Housing Center. That’s different, but not unlike the ongoing and manufactured housing specific insights provided by the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR).

Put differently, there is simply no other sources in manufactured housing that has more evidence-based insights, tips, data and analysis than MHProNews. Other websites may be pretty looking, but perhaps that’s why MHProNews is the documented most-read trade media in manufactured housing and has been for years.

Our featured focus this evening will be fresh reports on manufactured housing specific insights and how it relates to broader mainstream housing data.  That’s found below the left-right headline news and standard business nightly fare.

The Whatever side of the left-right divide you are on, this quote by President Obama is quite right. That’s true in political news. But there is something similar with respect to manufactured housing news and reports. We sift through the facts and figures to provide insights found no where else in MHVille.

10 Market Indicator Closing Summaries – Yahoo Finance Closing Tickers on MHProNews…

Featured Focus – Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet

ManufacturedHomeIndustryInsidersLendingOutlookContrastedwithAEI-MBA-MortgageDataManufacturedHousingInvestingStockUpdatesMHProNews

New [HUD Code manufactured home credit] application[s] are down but not as much as we expected. I’m more concerned with the unemployment numbers and what that could do to everyone’s delinquency and repo numbers. If unemployment stays at 15% + we will all see challenges. Of course that will also affect new applications and approvals as you cannot buy a home without a job. Bottom line is we need to get the country restarted ASAP. Hope this helps.”

Another industry insider – both of whom are Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) members – has told MHProNews that they expect about “a 20-30 percent drop” in March 2020 sales/shipments/production. The hard official federal data on March 2020 should be available next week.

Those manufactured home specific concerns noted, it sets the stage for the broader housing data provided by AEI.

 

Edward Pinto, Director of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) Housing Center sent the following information to MHProNews today.

 

AEI Housing Center Director of Research Tobias Peter provided the following analysis on how the COVID-19 pandemic may impact individual home builders…”

“…As the latest AEI Flash Housing Market Indicator (HMI) report showed, purchase loan rate lock activity for all homes (new and existing) continued to decline. For the week of April 20 (week 17), purchase loan rate lock activity was 17% below that for week 17 in 2019. However, activity may be down as much as 28% after taking into account that activity in January and February 2020 (weeks 1-8) was running 16% ahead of the same period in 2019.”

Given the likelihood of home price declines, lenders have adopted minimum credit score overlays on FHA and VA loans, with a minimum of 640 being a common floor. These overlays are prudent, given the increased risk of future default as this group is likely to be most affected by job loss and declining home prices. Since the onset of the COVID-19 era, rate lock activity for this group has plummeted by more than 55%, while for everyone else, rate lock activity has declined only 13%.”

AEI told MHProNews earlier today that using MBA and other data, they estimate 4 million loans already in forbearance as of April 27.

  • A well-connected industry source has told MHProNews that 21st Mortgage is bracing for an influx of new defaults and repossessions.

ForebearanceAEIMortgageForebearanceDataApril272020ManufacturedHomeProNews

Returning to AEI, “The MBA just released its mortgage loan forbearance report through April 19, 2020. Using data from other sources, we have made projections through the end of April, 2020.”

QuoteMarkManufacturedHomeLivingNewsAs expected, forbearances continued their upward climb. Combining the MBA’s mortgage loan forbearance report through April 19, 2020 and internal AEI sources, we project that as of April 27, 2020, 4.0 million loans are already in forbearance.

Of these 4.0 million loans, Fannie and Freddie account for 1.8 million and Ginnie for 1.1 million. This total will climb to 4.2 million by the end of April, with the overall forbearance rate standing at 7.6%, the Fannie/Freddie rate standing at 5.9%, and the Ginnie Mae rate standing at 10.5% by April 27.”

After analyzing the home sales data by guarantor type and credit score bucket for the nation’s largest builders, a couple trends stand out. LGI by far appears to be the builder most exposed. n 2019:Q4, almost a fifth of institutionally-financed sales went to FHA and VA borrowers with credit score below 640. On the other hand Toll Brothers, a luxury builder with virtually no exposure to the at-risk group, appears much better situated to weather the current storm. For Toll however, a relatively high exposure to the jumbo market could create problems down the road as the Flash HMI report also finds that the non-conforming market could be in retreat.

After connecting the dots, investors should be alert to differentiating builders during this COVID-19 crisis by evaluating the different market segments they are serving.”
