美联储贷款官调查:三季度房贷审批标准基本不变,各类住房贷款需求普遍走弱

美联储11月2日发布10月高级贷款官意见调查(SLOOS)结果,描绘出一个「标准不动、需求转弱」的信贷图景:第三季度,银行对大多数类型的住房抵押贷款,其放贷标准在净值上「基本上保持不变」;但借款人的需求却在净值上普遍走弱——各类住房贷款的需求均有减弱,房屋净值信用额度(HELOC)的需求则与上一季度持平。
这项季度调查是美联储观察银行信贷供给与需求的窗口。本次调查于9月21日发出、10月5日截止回收,共收到61家国内银行与18家外国银行在美分支机构的答复。调查所称的「净值」,是指报告某一变化的银行占比与报告相反变化的银行占比之差。
从细分看,符合政府支持企业(房利美、房地美)收购资格的合规贷款,报告需求「适度走弱」的国内银行占比明显上升;政府类贷款(联邦住房管理局等担保的贷款)与非合规类贷款也呈现类似的需求转弱格局。与之相对,各类贷款的审批标准绝大多数银行选择「保持不变」——换言之,银行没有进一步收紧房贷闸门,需求的降温主要来自借款人一侧。
这一结果与近期的市场数据相互印证:在30年期房贷利率长期高于7%的环境下,购房与再融资申请持续低迷,购房者观望情绪浓厚。信贷标准不变意味着银行体系并未主动加码收缩,房贷市场的冷淡更多是利率与房价之下需求不足的反映。
高级贷款官意见调查自1990年代起按季度发布,是美联储货币政策讨论中经常引用的信贷状况指标之一。本次调查覆盖第三季度商业与家庭信贷的多个门类,住房部分只是其中之一;完整的调查报告可在美联储官网查阅。

Fed Loan Officer Survey: Mortgage Standards Mostly Unchanged in the Third Quarter as Housing Loan Demand Weakened
The Federal Reserve released its October 2026 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey (SLOOS) on November 2, painting a picture of steady standards and softening demand in mortgage credit. Over the third quarter, banks reported that they 'left standards basically unchanged, on net, for most types of residential mortgage loans,' while demand weakened, on balance, across all residential real estate loan categories. Demand for home equity lines of credit was unchanged.
SLOOS is the Fed's quarterly window into the supply of and demand for bank credit. For this round, the survey was sent out on September 21 with responses due October 5; 61 domestic banks and 18 U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks replied. Figures are reported on a net basis — the share of banks reporting one direction of change minus the share reporting the opposite.
By loan type, the share of domestic banks reporting moderately weaker demand rose notably for GSE-eligible home-purchase loans, and government and non-GSE loan categories showed similar softening. Standards told the opposite story: the overwhelming majority of banks reported no change in their approval standards for each mortgage category. In other words, banks did not tighten the mortgage tap further; the cooling is coming from the borrower side.
The findings line up with recent market data: with 30-year mortgage rates holding above 7 percent, purchase and refinance applications have stayed subdued and many would-be buyers remain on the sidelines. Unchanged standards suggest the banking system is not adding its own brake — the market's chill reflects demand constrained by rates and prices.
The Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey has been conducted quarterly since the 1990s and is a regular input into Federal Reserve policy discussions. The full October report, covering business as well as household credit, is published on the Federal Reserve's website.
