Mortgage rates have dropped to their lowest level since October 2024, fueling a surge in mortgage demand. Total mortgage applications increased by 11.2% last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).
The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 6.67%, down from 6.73% the previous week. This marks the sixth consecutive weekly decline and a 17-basis-point drop from a year ago.
Refinance applications jumped 16% week-over-week and are 90% higher than the same period last year, as homeowners who purchased at higher rates seek potential savings. Purchase applications also rose 7% and are 4% higher than last year.
“With spring homebuying season approaching, activity is up across all loan categories,” said MBA economist Joel Kan. FHA loan applications saw an 11% boost, driven by a rate drop to 6.34%.
Markets are now watching inflation data for further rate movement.
