The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index, however, experienced a 3.0 percent increase from the week before. mortgage rates were up slightly, with the average Contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages rising from 3.52 percent to 3.54 percent. The refinance share of all mortgage activity remained unchanged from the previous week at 81 percent. More here and here.
