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 Assp.
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.

and extrapolations, where required, estimated mainly by Federal Reserve.

Total starts are Census estimates including farm for both permit-issuing and
not.-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
i
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
;
VA starts are not strictly comparable in concept or timing; other starts include both units financed by conventional mortgages and units without mortgages. j
Building permits before January 1963 are Census estimates for about 10,000 areas \
identified as having aJLocal building permit system in 1959. Estimates beginning I
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.
J
.
Based on FHA-field-office opinions about average bid prices in the private
secondary market for new-home mortgages for immediate delivery. Separate
data availablel for 25-year and--beginning July 1961--30-year mortgages with
minimum downpayments, weighted by probable volume of transactions. Yields
computed by FHA, assuming prepayment period of 12 years for 25-year mortgages
and 15 years fjor 30-year mortgages. Over the period for which they can be
compared, the movement of the two mortgage yield series has been similar.
Dashed lines indicate periods of adjustment to changes in contractual interest
rates.
I
Based on FHA - die1d-o f f i ce opinion on typical interest rates (rounded) on conventional first mortgages prevailing in the market areas of insuring officecities. Beginning with April 1960, rate relates only to new-home mortgages;
prior to that Mate, rate related to both new as well as existing-home mortgages. Dashed line indicates this change in the series.
