🏡 Mortgage demand is bouncing back after a slow March.
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, mortgage applications jumped 7.9%, signaling renewed activity from both buyers and homeowners looking to refinance.
📈 What’s driving the shift?
✔️ Lower mortgage rates are improving affordability
✔️ More homes on the market means better options for buyers
✔️ Refinance opportunities are bringing homeowners back
👀 What this could mean for the market:
