FHA mortgage demand rises as borrowers face affordability challenges
By Diana Olick
Mortgage rates for conventional loans didn’t budge last week, and neither did overall demand, but borrowers are actively seeking other loan products that offer bigger savings.
Total mortgage application volume increased 0.3% last week compared with the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s seasonally adjusted index.
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances, $832,750 or less, remained unchanged at 6.21%, with points staying unchanged at 0.56, including the origination fee, for loans with a 20% down payment.
