Mortgage industry experts observed last week saw a significant increase in purchase applications for home loans, despite mortgage rates remaining consistent near 7%. These applications, which are typically used for buying a home, were able to pull out an 8% week-to-week gain. This demonstrates an improving trend in the market, and possible strength in the housing industry.
