Huge Rebound in Mortgage Application Volume Last Week

After six weeks in a row of mortgage application decreases, last week there was a 8.6% rise in volume. Mortgage rates reached their lowest level in almost two months and this caused the uptick in refinance volume we experienced last week. Refinance applications accounted for 60% of total mortgage applications during this past week.

 

  • The FHA’s share of mortgage applications increased to 11.3% from 10.8% the previous week.
