Redfin created a seasonally-adjusted index of Optimal Blue\u2019s data in order to adjust for typical seasonal patterns and allow for simple comparisons of second-home demand during and before the pandemic. We define \u201cpre-pandemic\u201d as January and February 2020 and set the index for that period to 100. Any data point above 100 represents second-home demand that\u2019s above pre-pandemic levels and any data point below 100 represents demand below pre-pandemic levels. This data is subject to revision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A mortgage-rate lock is an agreement between a homebuyer and a lender that allows the homebuyer to lock in an interest rate on a mortgage for a certain period of time, offering protection against future interest-rate hikes.
