Mortgage demand continues to be slow to respond to falling interest rates.
Rates dropped for the sixth week in a row last week and total mortgage application volume rose just 1.4%, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported on Wednesday. Applications to purchase a home rose 2% week-over-week, and refinance applications increased 1%.
“There is still somewhat limited refinance potential as many borrowers still have sub-5 percent rates," MBA economist Joel Kan said in a release. “Despite the drop in rates, affordability challenges and other factors such as limited inventory might still be hindering purchase decisions.”
