As mortgage rates head back up, demand is dropping to levels not seen since July.
Mortgage application volume dropped 6.7% over the last week, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported on Wednesday. Applications to refinance a home have fallen 8% and purchase applications fell 5%, but are 3% higher than a year ago.
"Even though rates have been on a recent upswing, they are over a full percentage point lower than a year ago, which has kept some homebuyers in the market," MBA economist Joel Kan said in a release. "For-sale inventory has started to loosen, and home-price growth has eased in some markets, providing more options for buyers in combination with these lower rates.”
