About MBA Mortgage Refinance Index — United States
DEFINITION
The MBA Mortgage Refinance Index is a widely recognized financial indicator that measures the volume of mortgage refinancing applications in the United States. It provides valuable insights into the current state of the housing market and consumer sentiment towards refinancing their existing mortgages. This index is used by financial institutions, economists, and investors to track trends and make informed decisions in the mortgage and real estate industries.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Housing data leads broader economic cycles by several months and is highly rate-sensitive, with knock-on effects to construction, materials, and consumer credit. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Jun 2026): actual 810.2. Prior reading (Jun 2026): 848.7. Before that (Jun 2026): 736.2.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a similar reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook diverging from that direction. The 1-month and 3-month horizons disagree, suggesting a mixed signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary tailwind in the current projection.
