"With mortgage rates now at 4.5%, compared to rates at or below 3% not that long ago, it is no surprise that refinance volume has dropped by more than 50 percent compared to this time last year.," said Mike Fratantoni, MBA’s senior vice president and chief economist. "MBA’s new March forecast expects mortgage rates to continue to trend higher through the course of 2022." The average interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages increased to 4.5% from 4.27% the prior week.
The survey covers over 75% of all U.S. retail residential mortgage applications and has been conducted weekly since 1990.
