NOTES:
1

M o n t h l y data for commercial banks based on Federal Reserve estimates benchmarked t o Call Report data o n real e s t a t e loans outstanding as available. Other data derived f r o m mortgage debt outstanding as reported separately by National Assn. of M u t u a l Savings Banks, Federal H o m e Loan
Bank Board, Institute of Life insurance and, through August 1968, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and thereafter by F N M A and the
Government National Mortgage Association Data for mutual savings banks and f o r Life Insurance companies may differ somewhat f r o m those derived f r o m regular quarterly series because of minor conceptual differences t o r w h i c h adjustments arc not made in the m o n t h l y series. Altogether,
these groups accounted for 83 per cent of the net increase estimated for ail holders in 1974

2

Beginning January 1972 data reflect activity ;n limited amount of conventional mortgages.

NOTES:
1

Derived from data on mortgage debt outstanding from Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Institute of 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 series 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 d e b t .

NOTES:
Private building permits (for 14,000 areas w i t h permit systems, excluding farm), starts, and completions are Census Bureau data. A dwelling unit is started when excavation begins. In the case of
apartment buildings, all units are considered started at that time; however, all such units are considered completed when more than half o f the units in the structure are ready for use. Private mobiie
home shipments are Mobile Home Manufacturers Association data converted to seasonally adjusted annual rate by Census Bureau.

Gross yield spread is average mortgage return before deducting servicing costs, minus average yield on new issues of high-grade utility bonds with 5-year call protection.

Rates on conventional first mortgages (excluding additional fees and charges) are based on unweighted HUD (FHA) field office opinions on prevailing contract interest rates in the market areas
of the insuring offices, rounded to the nearest 5 basis points. For secondary market data, weighted HUD office opinions on the average bid price for HUD (FHA) loans with minimum downpayment, prepaid in 15 years, for immediate delivery, are used.
