Member Profile: Difficulties in Obtaining Mortgage Financing

  • For the third consecutive year REALTORS® reported that the most cited reason for limiting potential clients was the difficulty in obtaining mortgage financing, at thirty percent.
  • There was a decline in the share of members who reported the most important factor limiting clients was the expectation that prices would fall further, from 26 percent in the 2011 survey to 18 percent in the 2012 survey.
