Mortgage Applications Fall 8.1% as Rates Tick Up Sharply
After a strong showing in the first few
weeks of the New Year, mortgage applications dropped sharply during the week
ended January 25. The Mortgage Bankers
Association (MBA) reported that its Market Composite Index, a measure of application
volume, decreased 8.1 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from the previous
week and was down 17 percent on an unadjusted basis. The results included an adjustment to account
for a week shortened by the Martin Luther King holiday.
The
Refinance Index decreased 10 percent from the week ended January 18 and
refinancing dropped from the 82 percent share of mortgage activity it had
maintained for several weeks to a 79 percent share. The HARP share of refinance applications
increased to 26 percent from 25 percent.
Applications
for purchase mortgages were down 2 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from
the previous week and down 6 percent unadjusted. The unadjusted purchase index was 2 percent
higher than during the same week in 2011.
MBA's Mortgage Application Survey also
gathers information on average contract interest and effective rates and those
increased for all fixed-rate products. The average contract rate for 30-year
fixed-rate mortgages (FRM) with conforming balances of $417,500 or less
increased 5 basis points to 3.67 percent, the highest rate since September 2012
and the sixth increase in seven weeks.
Points decreased from 0.43 to 0.42. The contract rate for jumbo 30-year FRM, those
with balances over $417,500, increased to 3.95 percent with 0.39 point from
3.85 percent with 0.34 point. FHA-backed
30-year mortgages had an average contract rate of 3.48 percent with 0.33 point
compared to 3.40 percent with 0.53 percent the previous week.
Fifteen-year FRM rates averaged 2.95
percent with 0.38 point. A previous week
the average rate was 2.87 percent with 0.39 point.
Four percent of mortgage applications
were for adjustable rate products (ARMs) of various types, a slight increase
from the previous week. The contract
rate for the most popular of these, the 5/1 hybrid mortgage, decreased to 2.60
percent with 0.33 point from 2.61 percent with 0.32 point.
MBA's weekly mortgage application survey
has been conducted since 1990.
Respondents include mortgage bankers, commercial banks and thrifts. Rates are based on loans with an 80 percent
loan-to-value ratio and points include the origination fee. Base period and value for all indices is
March 16, 1990=100.
