Despite little movement with interest rates, mortgage demand popped last week.
Applications to purchase a home increased 10% week-over-week, and were 20% percent higher than a year ago, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) on Wednesday. Applications to refinance rose 16% for the week and were 28% higher than the same week one year ago.
“Coming out of the Memorial Day holiday, mortgage applications increased to the highest level in over a month,” said Joel Kan, vice president and deputy chief economist at the MBA, in a release. “Treasury rates saw some movement during the week, which resulted in additional opportunities for borrowers.”
