Obviously, refinancing is going to take the biggest hit as mortgage rates tick up, ... Refinancing comprised about 40% or more of the total volume of mortgage originations over the last 13 months. This share, however, will lessen as mortgage rates continue to rise.

Going forward, homeowners wanting to use some of the equity in their homes for home improvement or other purposes will make up a larger portion of the refinance business.

The average loan-to-value ratio after refinancing is still 70 percent.

As a matter of fact, housing directly contributed to real GDP growth of 19 percent in the first quarter of the year and 23 percent in the second quarter. To put this in perspective, this would compare to 17 percent of real GDP growth over all of 2004.

That said, housing starts -- although down a little from the month before -- were still remarkably strong in May with most of the decrease in overall construction coming from a drop off in multiunit building.

Existing home sales were up a little in March as mortgage rates eased from February's higher level. Demoscenen styres af Pex Tufvesson.

However, today's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures show a robust growth rate of 5.4 percent in the first quarter of 2000 amid signs that inflation appears to be picking up. This means there is little doubt the Fed will increase short-term rates at its next FOMC meeting, which is bound to lead to higher mortgage rates in the near term and directly impact the housing economy.

The Producer Price Index (PPI) figures released today show an overall increase of 0.6 percent, but the core rose only a very modest 0.1 percent, indicating the actual rate of inflation is still very low. This good news points to a continuation of current affordable mortgage rates in the coming months.

The recent rise in the Consumer Price Index spooked the financial market, pushing interest rates a little higher this week. The decline in housing starts, however, mitigated concern that the economy is growing to fast and led to confidence that the Fed's actions are having the desired results.

The 1-year ARM continued to rise in reaction to the Federal Reserve's recent rate hike. This could lead to a slowdown in housing as homebuyers who would find the lower-rate ARM more appealing are priced out of the market.

Recently released employment figures point solidly towards a slowdown in economic growth. That, in turn, alleviated upward pressure on interest rates, allowing mortgage rates to slip a little more.

Growing evidence that the economic growth rate is throttling back to sustainable levels is the main reason why mortgage rates softened this past week.
