Michael Fratantoni, MBA’s vice president of research and economics, said refinance application volume jumped to the highest level in more than three years as mortgage rates fell to another record low. The average Contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with Conforming loan balances dropped to 3.53 percent from 3.63 percent the previous week. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index increased 4.0 percent. More here and here.
