US MBA mortgage applications w.e. 4 March +8.5% vs -0.7% prior

  • Latest data from the Mortgage Bankers Association for the week ending 4 March 2022
  • Prior -0.7%
  • Market index 502.5 vs 463.1 prior
  • Purchase index 267.6 vs 246.3 prior
  • Refinancing index 1,829.7 vs 1,685.7 prior
  • 30-year mortgage rate 4.09% vs 4.15% prior

The long-term mortgage rate drops slightly from its highest since May 2019 as mortgage applications rebound strongly in the past week, owing to both a jump in purchases and refinancing activity. But the bounce comes after weeks of a struggle so we'll have to see if this is just a bit of a light blip in the trend.
