Mortgage applications

Mortgage borrowers buying new homes generated more loan applications this September than they did a year ago, even though interest rates are higher this year.

Mortgage applications fell last week as rates for the 30-year fixed conforming loan topped 5% for the first time since 2011, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported.

Mortgage application activity was relatively flat compared with the previous week, as long-term interest rates held steady following the recent Fed rate hike, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Mortgage applications were up 2.9% from one week earlier, even as the rate for the 30-year conforming mortgage reached its highest point in over seven years, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Mortgage applications were up 1.6% from one week earlier, marking only the second increase of the past two months despite key interest rates rising, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Mortgage applications decreased 0.1% from one week earlier, dropping for the seventh time in eight weeks even with scant movement in interest rates, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
