Margin debt, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange. Although margin debt
until March 1968 included loans secured by U.S. governments, the amount of such
loans included is thought to have been small.
"Bank loans-to others than brokers and dealers for purchasing or carrying securities other than U.S. governments."
The difference between customers' net debit balances and customers'net free credit balances, this figure represents the net credit extended by brokers and
dealers to the nonfinancial public.
NOTE: With the exception of bank loan data, figures are supplied by the New York
Stock Exchange and are end of month data. Bank loans are for weekly reporting
^
large commercial banks. Broker data includes loans for regulated securities; bank
data includes loans for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any security, whether
regulated or not.

Monthly data for commercial banks based on Federal Reserve estimates benchmarked
to Call Report data on real estate loans outstanding as available. Other data
derived from mortgage debt outstanding as reported separately by National Assn.
of Mutual Savings Banks, Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Institute of Life Insurance
and, through August 1968, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and thereafter by FNMA and the Government National Mortgage Association. Data for mutual
savings banks and for Life Insurance companies may differ somewhat from those
derived from regular quarterly series because of minor conceptual differences for
which adjustments are not made in the monthly series. Altogether, these groups
accounted for 87 per cent of the net increase estimated for all holders in 1967.

1 Derived from data on mortgage debt outstanding from Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Institute bf Life Insurance, National Association of Mutual Savings Banks, Departments of Commerce and Agriculture, Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Housing Administration
Veterans Administration and Comptroller of the Currency. Separation of nonfarm mortgage debt by type of property, where not available, and interpolations
and extrapolations, where required, estimated mainly by Federal Reserve.
2 May differ somewhat from related flow of funds serie? mainly because of more
aggregative type of seasonal adjustment.
3 Residential mortgage debt includes nonfarm only and is sum of 1-to 4- family
and multifamily mortgage debt combined.

Note: Under the FNMA auction system, approved sellers of Governmentunderwritten mortgages bid for FNMA forward purchase commitments, subject to an over-all dollar limit announced by FNMA in advance. Bids
accepted by FNMA are for delivery at the seller's option, and at any
time within the specified period. Bids on proposed homes relate to
construction not yet started on which mortgages may be delivered onljy
after completion and occupancy.

For "proposed construction" of new homes only.

Average secondary market yield after allowance for commitment fee and
required purchase and holding of FNMA stock, assuming prepayment of
15 years for 30-year Government-underwritten mortgages. Yields shown

to servicers. Prior to August 10, 1970 the servicing fee was 50 basis points.

Total starts are Census estimates including farm for both permit-issuing and
nou-issuing areas. A dwelling unit is started when excavation begins; all units
in an apartment structure are considered started at that time. FHA and VA
starts are units started under commitments by these agencies to insure or guarantee the mortgages. As reported by FHA and VA, a -unit is started when a field
office receives the first compliance inspection report, which is made before
footings are poured in some cases but normally after the foundations have been
completed. Other starts are derived as a residual, although total and FHA and
j
VA starts are not strictly comparable in concept or timing; other starts inj
elude both units financed by conventional mortgages and^units without mortgages, j
Building permits before January 1963 are Census estimates" for about 10,000 areas I
identified as having a local building permit system in 1959. Estimates beginning j
January 1963 are for approximately 12,000 and beginning January 1967 13,000, or
|
all known permit-issuing places. Unlike starts, seasonally adjusted building per-|
mits reflect direct adjustment for differences in the number of working days per I
month, as well as other differences in timing and coverage.

Neither mortgage nor bond yields include allowance for servicing costs which are
much higher for mortgages than for bonds. Generally, bonds pay interest semiannually; mortgages, monthly. Mortgage yields, if computed as equivalent to
a semi-annual interest investment, would be slightly higher than given in the
table.
Based on FHA-field-office opinions about average bid prices in the private
secondary market for new-home mortgages for immediate delivery. Data shown
are for 30-year mortgages with minimum downpayments, and weighted by probable
volume of transactions. Yields computed by FHA, assuming prepayment period
o f 15 years for 30-year mortgages. Dashed lines indicate periods of adjustment to changes in contractual interest rates.

Based on FHA-field-office opinion'on typical interest rates (rounded) on conventional first mortgages prevailing in the market areas of insuring officecities. Beginning with April I960, rate relates only to new-home mortgages;
prior to that date, rate related to both new as well as existing-home mortgages. Dashed line indicates this change in the series. ,

Compiled by Federal Home Loan Bank Board in cooperation with Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. Data are weighted averages based on probability sample survey of characteristies of conventional first mortgages originated by major institutional lender
groups (including mortgage companies) for purchase of single family homes. Data exelude loans for refinancing, reconditioning or modernization; construction loans to
home-builders; and permanent loans which are coupled with construction loans to ownerbuilders. Related series en conventional mortgage rates only, based on unweighted
opinions of field-office directors of the Federal Housing Administration, are available
somewhat sooner than the results of the FHLBB-FDIC survey, and are included-in the case
of new home mortgage rates—in Table 16.

2

Fees and charges—expressed as a percentage of the principal mortgage amount—include
loan commissions, fees, discounts, and other charges which provide added income to the
lender and are paid by the borrower. They exclude any closing costs related solely to
transfer of property ownership.

3

Includes fees & charges amortized over a 10 year period in addition to the contract
interest rate.
