- Refinancing index 3,955.9 vs 3,973.3 prior

The drop comes from a decline in purchases activity but it is just a modest decline relative to the overall steady conditions seen over the past few weeks. The long-term rate continues to sit at low levels and that is part of the reason spurring mortgage activity in general.
