Mortgage Refi Applications Highest Since Aug 2022

US DATA
  • MBA composite mortgage applications bounced a seasonally adjusted 3.9% last week after two weeks down a combined -2.8%.
  • The broad trend is still intact, with applications at 45% of 2019 levels vs ~40% in late May.
  • That modest uplift has come as 30Y mortgage rates have fallen from a peak of 7.29% in late April to recent averages a little below 7% (it most recently fell from 7.00% to 6.87%, the lowest since early March).
  • The breakdown of applications was particularly mixed in the latest week though, with refis jumping 15% (to the highest level since Aug’22 but only to 35% of 2019 levels) in contrast to purchase applications -2.7% (54% of 2019 levels).
