Mortgage Demand Increases as Interest Rates Reach Three-Week Low

The uptick in applications follows a recent dip in interest rates, which have hit their lowest levels in three weeks. This shift suggests that cooling rate environments may be providing slight relief to prospective homebuyers and refinancing activity after a period of contraction.
