Purchase application data didn’t budge much on the week-to-week data. Mortgage rates went from 7.19%% to 7.37%. Weekly active listings rose by only 4,401.

Mortgage rates were near 7% last week but purchase applications were still able to pull out an 8% week-to-week gain. Purchase apps were coming off a four-week losing streak and even though those were mild week-to-week declines, it was still four weeks of weakness.
