Mortgage applications down last week

Mortgage applications were down last week, mostly due to a drop in refinancing activity.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association reports, 30-year fixed mortgage rates average 5.65 percent last week, just a bit down from the previous week's 5.68 percent.

The holidays are typically a slow time for mortgages and refinancing, so the results were not that unexpected.

If you are in the real estate market and are seeking to purchase a home, the holiday season might provide your perfect opportunity. Since less people are in the market right now, there are typically less offers being made on homes.
