Mortgage applications in the U.S. declined by 1.6% in the week ending March 28, extending a three-week losing streak, according to the latest data from the Mortgage Bankers Association. This followed a 2.0% drop in the previous week. Refinancing applications fell 5.6%, hitting a five-week low, while applications for new home purchases rose 1.5%—marking their sixth consecutive weekly increase and reaching a nine-week high. Meanwhile, the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage edged down slightly to 6.70% from 6.71%. “Overall purchase activity has shown year-over-year growth for more than two months as the inventory of existing homes for sale continues to increase, a positive development for the housing market despite the uncertain near-term outlook,” said Joel Kan, vice president and deputy chief economist at the MBA.
