Mortgage Rates Decrease, Boosting Home Buyer Demand
Mortgage rates for 30-year fixed-rate loans fell to 6.35%, down from 6.42%, marking a third consecutive weekly decline. This drop has led to a 10% increase in mortgage applications for home purchases and a 7.9% rise in total mortgage application volume. The decline in rates is attributed to positive market reactions to a Middle East ceasefire and lower oil prices.
