US mortgage activity picked up notably in the latest week, with MBA Mortgage Applications rising 6.2% week-over-week, reversing a previous 1.2% decline. The data, updated on 11 November 2026, shows a clear rebound in demand compared with the prior week’s contraction.
The figures reflect a week-over-week comparison, where the current 6.2% gain measures the change in applications versus the previous week, while the earlier -1.2% reading captured how applications had fallen relative to the week before that. The sharp swing back into positive territory suggests a renewed interest in home financing and refinancing after a brief pullback in activity.
