July 2022 Highlights - Refinance Activities

  • Total refinance volume decreased in July 2022 amid rising mortgage rates through June. Mortgage rates fell in July: the average interest rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage decreased to 5.41 percent from a July level of 5.52 percent, representing levels last observed in 2008.
  • The percentage of borrowers refinancing into shorter term 15-year fixed rate mortgages decreased to 17 percent in July, with borrowers finding the greater monthly affordability of 30-year fixed rate mortgages amid rising rates more attractive than the increased interest rate savings of 15-year fixed rate mortgages which inched toward one percent.
