Mortgage Market in Review:

Mortgage application volume decreased 6.4% from the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Refinance demand had been driving the volume of mortgage applications up, but refinance applications decreased 8% for the week, according to the MBA’s seasonally adjusted tally. Mortgage rates began falling more than a month ago as fears of the coronavirus hit financial markets. Mortgage rates loosely follow the yield of the 10-year Treasury. But, last week the 30-year fixed mortgage rate increased 5 basis points. Mortgage applications to purchase a home fell 3% last week but were 10% higher than a year ago. Low inventory of affordable homes continues to be a problem.
