(NYSE: ICE), today released its August 2025 Mortgage Monitor report. ICE data reveals that mortgage originations had their highest quarterly volume since 2022, with both purchase and cash-out refinance activity nearing three-year highs. At the same time, total and tappable home equity volumes were the highest on record.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cHomeowners are actively drawing on record equity with cash-out refinance loans, signaling increased demand despite elevated rates,\u201d said Andy Walden, Head of Mortgage and Housing Market Research at ICE. \u201cMeanwhile, a substantial cohort of people who purchased homes over the last three years are watching on the sidelines for rates to drop so they can refinance into a lower monthly payment.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Cash-out refinances drive the majority of refinance activity\n<p><\/b>Cash-out refinances accounted for 59% of all refinance transactions in the second quarter. Notably, 70% of those borrowers accepted higher interest rates, averaging a 1.45 percentage point increase, in exchange for tapping an average of $94,000 in home equity. These borrowers saw monthly payments increase by about $590. Cash-out borrowers tended to have lower average credit scores (719) and smaller loan balances ($188,000) compared to their rate-and-term counterparts. See the full report for more detail.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Home equity hits record high\n<p><\/b>Tappable equity hit another record high in Q2, with borrowers entering Q3 with a record $17.8 trillion in total equity, including $11.6 trillion in tappable equity that can be accessed while maintaining a 20% cushion. Roughly 48 million mortgage holders had tappable equity, with the average homeowner holding $213,000 in accessible value.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Slowing home prices may signal plateauing equity growth\n<p><\/b>While equity levels remain high, the pace of home equity growth has slowed to its lowest rate in two years. This deceleration is largely attributable to declining home prices in key Sunbelt and Western markets. Cities like Austin (-38%) and Deltona, Fla. (-37%) have seen tappable equity per borrower fall by more than 25% from recent peaks. Nearly one-quarter of U.S. markets have experienced at least a 5% drop in tappable equity. Additionally, about 1% of mortgage holders \u2013 roughly 564,000 borrowers \u2013 now owe more than their homes are worth.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nHomeowners turning to cash-out refinances in Q2 posed challenges \u2013 and opportunities \u2013 for mortgage servicers seeking to retain homeowners\u2019 business.<\/p>\n<p><b>Retaining cash-out borrowers a challenge for mortgage servicers<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nCash-out prospects can be difficult to identify using rate-based triggers alone, and as a result, retention for these loans hit a more-than-four-year low. This brought down overall refinance retention to 23%, the lowest level since Q2 2024. Despite these challenges, Q2 also featured bright spots for mortgage servicers. Retention rates among borrowers who purchased in 2024 came in at 43% \u2013 nearly double the market average \u2013 showing that lenders who are top-of-mind with borrowers are more likely to win repeat business.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cAs homeowners increasingly look to access their equity, lenders and servicers need tools that help reach them first,\u201d said Tim Bowler, President of ICE Mortgage Technology. \u201cBy embedding refinance capabilities within the servicing experience \u2013 as we did with the newest integration between our MSP\u00ae servicing and Encompass\u00ae loan origination systems \u2013 we offer customers a powerful way to stay ahead of borrower intent when timing is everything. Additionally, our robust data and analytics enable customers to move beyond simple rate-drop targeting to strengthen retention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe full August Mortgage Monitor report contains a deeper analysis of June mortgage performance, mortgage origination opportunities and trends, and a housing market update featuring July ICE Home Price Index (HPI) data.<\/p>\n<p>\nFurther detail, including charts, can be found in<i \/><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/mortgagetech.ice.com\/resources\/data-reports?tagIdGroups=\"><b>this month\u2019s Mortgage Monitor report<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About the ICE Mortgage Monitor<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nICE manages the nation\u2019s leading repository of loan-level residential mortgage data and performance information covering the majority of the overall market, including tens of millions of loans across the spectrum of credit products and more than 160 million historical records.
