According to Chief Economist Sam Khater, the declining rates have sparked increased refinancing activity, with refinance applications reaching nearly 60% of total mortgage applications, marking the highest level since January 2022.

Il FRM a 15 anni è sceso al 5,41% dal 5,50% della settimana scorsa, rispetto al 5,15% di un anno fa.

Secondo il Capo Economista Sam Khater, i tassi in calo hanno stimolato un aumento dell'attività di rifinanziamento, con le domande di rifinanziamento arrivate a quasi il 60% del totale delle domande ipotecarie, livello più alto dal gennaio 2022.

El FRM a 15 años cayó al 5,41% desde el 5,50% de la semana pasada, en comparación con el 5,15% de hace un año.

Según el economista jefe Sam Khater, las tasas en descenso han impulsado una mayor actividad de refinanciamiento, con las solicitudes de refinanciamiento alcanzando casi el 60% del total de solicitudes hipotecarias, marcando el nivel más alto desde enero de 2022.
