The rate for 15-year fixed home loans is currently 4.26 percent, while the rate for 5-1 adjustable-rate mortgages (ARM) is 3.53 percent.

The total volume of mortgage requests in the past week was up 7 percent from the prior week. Of last week's requests, 29 percent were for refinance loans, 69 percent were for purchase loans and 2 percent were for home equity loans. The prior week, 31 percent of requests were for refinance loans, 67 percent were for purchase loans and 2 percent were for home equity loans.
