Following an imbalance in data last week, mortgage rates hit a new low for the year, and borrowers took advantage of this with an uptick in mortgage applications this week.

Rates fell a bit lower this week, but buyers did not hurry to take out a mortgage loan. On top of that, mortgage credit has tightened this month, which could be the reason that buyers were unable to purchase a home.

Mortgage rates and applications had been on a continuous trend of low rates and high applications, but they have now changed course and are heading in an opposite direction.

Interest rates for home loans remained near 3-year lows this week, while coincidentally, mortgage applications experienced a jump. Are consumers finally taking advantage of historically low rates?

Data from the Mortgage Bankers Association's Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey showed that mortgage loan application volume decreased 1.3 percent from last week on a seasonally adjusted basis.
