1. Successful bond approval rate by one bank:

The most favorable approval rate was 57.6% and the least favorable was 53.2%. Approval rates are trending lower year-on-year primarily due to homebuyers facing affordability constraints in a rising interest rate environment, compounded by inflationary pressures. Applications with deposits continue to have a higher rate of approval than 100% bond applications, which banks are currently extremely cautious on.

This signifies the opportunity to secure an approval from another bank on applications initially declined by one bank. These statistics illustrate the benefit of ooba’s value proposition to real estate by having access to 10 banks to acquire an approval.

3. Total bond approval rate across all banks:

With one of the highest approval rates in the market, ooba continues to secure approval for more than seven out of ten applications that we process, which is a compelling reason for real estate to use ooba’s origination services, particularly under the current tougher economic conditions.
