New monthly mortgage payments in the U.S. decreased for the second consecutive month in July despite mortgage rates rising to year-ago levels, driven by smaller loan amounts offsetting higher rates according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Proptech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a slight reprieve in borrower affordability as smaller loan sizes reduce payment burdens even with higher rates. This opens a window to target buyers adjusting their financing rather than rate-sensitive refinance seekers.
