Many banks seeing "strengthening of demand"

From the Federal Reserve: The October 2012 Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices

In the October survey, small fractions of domestic banks, on net, reported easing standards for business lending and some categories of consumer lending over the past three months. Respondents reported little change in residential real estate lending standards on balance. Significant fractions of banks reported a strengthening of demand for commercial real estate loans, residential mortgages, and auto loans, on balance, while demand for most other types of loans was about unchanged.
