CoreLogic has a useful leading mortgage index and it ain’t pretty. Back to 2018 with a bullet…
CoreLogic systems monitor more than 100,000 mortgage activity events every month across our 4 main finance industry platforms. Monitoring the activity events across this platform provides a unique and timely lead indicator to housing finance commitments. The index shows an 81% correlation with the ABS housing finance data series (88% using the seasonally adjusted series).
