Wednesday, August 5, 2020

Mortgage application volume declined during the week ended July 31 even as mortgage interest rates reached another all-time low. The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) said its Market Composite Index, a measure of that volume, decreased 5.1 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier and was down 5 percent unadjusted. Refinancing took the larger hit. That index fell 7 percent from the previous week and accounted for 63.9 percent of all applications, down from 65.1 percent the prior week. Activity was 84 percent greater than the same week one year ago. The Purchase Index decreased 2 percent from one week earlier on both a seasonally adjusted and a non-adjusted basis. It was 22 percent higher on an annual basis.

Testimonial

"We appreciated that Mark took time to explain the different options to us as first time homebuyers. He gave us tips about making an additional payment each year and spoke with us about tax credits. He finds out what you already know by asking you questions and then helps you without making you feel unknowledgeable. We were very satisfied with the service. We plan to refer Mark to family and friends that are looking to purchase or refinance."
