In my earlier post I plotted the weekly Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) Market and Purchase indices since last June. It appears that the purchase activity has weakened a little over the last 6 months.

The graph on the right is of the Purchase Index for the 3rd week in January for each of the last 9 years.
This clearly shows that purchase activity is still at a very high level according to the MBA.
