Mortgages with balances under $100,000 have fallen from over 12% of originations in 2013-14 to less than 3% in 2025-26, restricting financing for lower-priced homes. This decline is due to fewer low-priced homes and higher costs and complexities in making small loans. Small mortgages are mostly found in rural areas, where they represent a larger share of loans, but borrowers still face higher rates despite strong credit and larger down payments. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act aims to reduce these barriers by addressing fixed costs and appraisal challenges, while broader home supply expansion is also needed to improve affordability and access.
