Prior -1.9%

• Refinancing index 4,261.5 vs 4,484.2 prior
• 30-year mortgage rate 2.95% vs 2.92% prior

The drop here stems from a decline in purchases and refinancing activity in the past week, but comes on the back of big surge to start the new yeartwo weeks back. As such, housing market conditions are still fairly robust and this is a mere moderation of that.
