"The Mortgage Bankers Association is revising downward its 2009 forecast for U.S. loan originations.
The industry group now expects nationwide mortgage originations this year of $2.03 trillion, down more than $700 billion from what it was forecasting in March.

The MBA now expects 4.8 million existing-home sales in 2009, a 1.2 percent decline from 2008. The association forecasts new-home sales will drop 27 percent to 352,000 units."
