Throughout the past three weeks, the mortgage industry has experienced consistent positive year-over-year growth in both purchase application data and weekly pending contract data. Last week specifically saw a significant increase compared to the same period last year. Despite this recent upward trend, it is important to acknowledge the context of the previous year when mortgage rates were on the rise, ultimately reaching a high of 8%. This escalation in rates significantly impacted the market, leading to record low sales levels in 2023.
