Today’s mortgage application (demand) numbers from the Mortgage Bankers Association was disappointing to say the least. Mortgage purchase demand just sank to it lowest level since 1995.
Typically, mortgage purchase applications peak in May or June of each year before beginning their annual lemmings drive downwards. But this year is seeing a early turn for the worse.
The unadjusted Purchase Index decreased 3 percent compared with the previous week and was 44 percent lower than the same week one year ago. The Refinance Index decreased 6 percent from the previous week and was 74 percent lower than the same week one year ago.
The Fed is hell bent on removing the punch bowl to fight inflation. Looks like Biden’s economic plan is turning the punch bowl into a dust bowl.
