Answer:
Not necessarily. For example, if title to the property changed hands prior to the signing of the assumption agreement with the financial institution, the assumption will not be HMDA reportable. The transaction is not the equivalent of a purchase transaction because the borrower already owns the property prior to signing the assumption agreement.
