A growing trend for mortgages in the United States
In recent months, mortgage demand in the United States has shown signs of recovery, with an increase of 2.8% recorded in the week ending November 29. This increase follows a previous increase of 6.3%, suggesting a positive trend in the real estate market.
The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported that, despite a slight decrease in refinancing requests of 0.6%, new mortgage applications saw a significant increase of 5.6%.
Impact of interest rates on mortgage demand
The recent decline in interest rates has played a crucial role in this renewed consumer interest. Thirty-year mortgage rates have fallen to 6.69%, compared to the previous 6.86%, making conditions more favorable for those who want to buy a home. This reduction could continue to stimulate demand for new mortgages in the coming weeks, offering attractive opportunities for potential buyers

Future prospects for the real estate market
With the current economic environment and the continuous evolution of interest rates, experts predict that the demand for mortgages could remain high. The combination of lower rates and growing interest in the housing market could lead to a further increase in mortgage applications. Buyers should consider acting quickly to take advantage of these favorable conditions, while lenders may need to adapt their strategies to meet growing demand
