Mortgage demand drops further

Mortgage rates held steady last week, but homebuyers pulled back due to economic concerns.

Mortgage applications for home purchases dropped 4% from the previous week and were only 3% higher than a year ago, despite lower interest rates.

The average 30-year fixed rate dipped slightly to 6.89%.

Refinance applications also fell 4% but remained 42% higher than last year, CNBC has reported.

Economic uncertainty and labor market weakness continue to weigh on demand, with market movement expected after key data releases later this week.
