More than $4,000 veterans received G1
percent loans from private lenders during
the month of September, the highest vol
ume since December, 1861, Veterans Ad-
ministration announced.
Despite a general Tightening up of the
mortgage market, an average OF zoOoO
veterans a month obtained CT home flnan-
cling during the first six months of 1862,
VA said.
A low of 22,285 home loan applications
was received during May, 1862. Since that
time, the volume of CT home loan applica-
tions has been increasing steadily. During
September, VA received 28,501 home loan
guaranty applications from private lenders
or lending institutions.
Although the national monthly total of
CT loan applications is substantial, VA said
that geographically the market is out of
balance Some areas in the nation have an
adequate supply of percent CT loan money
while other areas have little or none at all.
This geographical uneveness is not
but has always been general characters
tic of the overall mortgage market.
The recent renewal of the mortgage
purchase program of the Federal National
Mortgage Associations Government corp
Grafton which buys CT loans from private
lenders-will help bolster the CT loan money
supply in many communities, particularly
where the supply of private capital is low,
VA said. Early in September, FNMA made
available approximately $400. million for
over-the-counter purchase of CT and FILA
loans in non-defense areas.
