The Mortgage Bankers Association said its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage application activity, which includes both refinancing and home purchase demand, rose 11.1 per cent in the week ended Jan 2.
The MBA's seasonally adjusted index of refinancing applications rose 16.0 per cent, while the gauge of loan requests for home purchases, a leading indicator of home sales, rose 4.5 per cent.
