Mortgage demand continues to be directly correlated to long-term interest rates.

“Elevated mortgage rates continued to weigh down on home buying," said Joel Kan, MBA’s Vice President and Deputy Chief Economist. "Purchase applications were unchanged overall, although FHA purchases did pick up slightly over the week. Refinance applications decreased to fall 5 percent below last year’s pace.”
