The Refinance index, ,which is a measure of loan application volume for refinances decreased 6.2 percent from the previous week. Refinancing applications continues to decrease because homeowners who can refinance have done so already. "Rates were flat last week, but refinance activity fell, as the pool of borrowers who have both the incentive and the ability to qualify for a refinance continues to shrink" said Michael Fratantoni, MBA’s Vice President of Research and Economics.

The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index, which measures applications for home purchases, increased 6.7 percent from one week earlier. The increased is due mostly to an increase in government loans like FHA loans.
