Despite a slight uptick in mortgage applications this week, the mortgage industry is struggling on a larger scale compared to this time last year. According to data collected by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), last week’s mortgage applications rose by only 0.5%. This upturn came following a 4% decline in prior weeks.
The data suggests that demand for mortgages to purchase a home is substantially decreased in the current market compared to the same time period in the previous year. Applications for mortgages to purchase a home dropped 32% from last year, while refinance applications climbed 4%.
The key takeaways from this week’s data on mortgage applications are as follows:
