Demand for mortgage applications has fallen for the first time in six weeks, but only slightly.
Applications to refinance a home dropped 3% over the last week, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported on Wednesday, while purchase applications actually rose 1%. Both refinance and purchase applications were higher than a year ago.
"Buyers remained active in the purchase market, helped by gradually improving inventory conditions and a more positive outlook on the economy and job market,” MBA economist Joel Kan said in a release.
