A week after a free-fall of 9.2%, mortgage applications continued their decline with a 0.2% decrease from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s weekly mortgage applications survey for the week ending June 27, 2014.
The Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage loan application volume, decreased 0.2% on a seasonally adjusted basis from one week earlier. On an unadjusted basis, the Index decreased 1% compared with the previous week.
The Refinance Index increased 0.1% from the previous week. The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index decreased 1% from one week earlier. The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 1% compared with the previous week and was 16% lower than the same week one year ago.
“The mortgage industry has yet to see purchase activity make up for the drop in refinance volume,” said Quicken Loans vice president Bill Banfield. “Lenders who are able to focus on client experience are bucking this trend and gaining market share despite the recent drops in volume overall.”
The refinance share of mortgage activity increased to 53% of total applications from 52% the previous week. The adjustable-rate mortgage share of activity remained unchanged at 8% of total applications.
