Current low mortgage rates couldn’t help continue to help the demand for mortgage applications. The MBA’s Market Composite Index,  Purchase Index and the Refinance Index were all lower for the week ending June 4, 2010.

The Purchase Index, which is a measure of loan application volume for home purchases declined 5.7 percent from one week earlier. The Refinance Index, which is a measure of mortgage refinance applications decreased 14.3 percent from the prior week.
