As interest rates fall, mortgage refinancing is surging.
Applications to refinance a home loan increased 20% last week compared with the previous week, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported on Wednesday. The surge comes as interest rates fell closer to 6%.
“The 30-year fixed rate decreased for the eighth straight week to 6.13%," the MBA's Joel Kan said in a release. “As a result of lower rates, week-over-week gains for both conventional and government refinance applications increased sharply.”
