Purchase application volume is down 39.1% from one year ago, the largest year-over-year decline in purchasing since September 2010. The refinancing activity index is down 86.0% from the same week one year ago, the largest year-over-year decrease since October 1999.
The refinance share of mortgage activity remained unchanged from one week prior at 29.0% while the adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) share of activity slightly decreased from 11.8% to 11.7%. Due to higher FRM rates, the ARM share of mortgage activity has more than tripled from 3.4% one year ago.
