US MBA mortgage applications w.e. 15 April -5.0% vs -1.3% prior

  • Latest data from the Mortgage Bankers Association for the week ending 15 April 2022
  • Prior -1.3%
  • Market index 374.0 vs 393.5 prior
  • Purchase index 254.0 vs 261.8 prior
  • Refinancing index 1,023.2 vs 1,109.0 prior
  • 30-year mortgage rate 5.20% vs 5.13% prior

The long-term mortgage rate climbs to a 12-year high and that is proving to be a drag on demand conditions as mortgage applications slump once again. Both purchases and refinancing activity fell on the week as the run up in home-financing costs is weighing heavily on sentiment.
