"While mortgage rates generally held steady this week, overall mortgage demand remained very strong, rising over 50 percent from a year ago thanks to increases in both refinance and purchase mortgage applications," says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's chief economist. "As economic growth decelerates, it is clear that low mortgage rates will continue to support the mortgage market, and we expect that to persist for the remainder of the year."
