Low Mortgage Rates Drive Surge In Loan Demand

| Jun 15, 2011 | Housing Market

According to the mortgage Bankers Association’s Weekly Applications Survey, the average Contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages fell to 4.51 percent last week from 4.54 percent the week before. The drop in rates fueled a 13.0 percent surge in the Market Composite Index, which measures total mortgage loan application volume.
