little in late August, but the mix shifted as more applicants considered adjustable-rate loans.<\/p>\n    <p>For homebuyers, the useful question is not whether an ARM is automatically better or riskier.

The Mortgage Bankers Association reported that total volume increased 0.8% on a seasonally adjusted basis for the week ending August 28. Purchase applications rose 2%, while refinance applications slipped 1% and remained 19% below the same week a year earlier.<\/p>\n  <p>The adjustable-rate mortgage share rose to 8%, its highest point in five weeks. That suggests some borrowers were looking beyond the 30-year fixed loan for a lower starting payment as affordability remained strained. Applications measure borrower activity, not closed loans or completed home sales.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"loaning-table-wrap\">\n    <table>\n      <thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">MBA weekly metric<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Latest reading<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Change<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n      <tbody>\n        <tr><td>Total applications<\/td><td>+0.8%<\/td><td>Week over week, seasonally adjusted<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>Purchase applications<\/td><td>+2.0%<\/td><td>Week over week, seasonally adjusted<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>Refinance applications<\/td><td>-1.0%<\/td><td>Week over week; -19% year over year<\/td><\/tr>\n        <tr><td>ARM share<\/td><td>8.0%<\/td><td>Highest in five weeks<\/td><\/tr>\n      <\/tbody>\n    <\/table>\n  <\/div>\n  <p class=\"loaning-table-footnote\">Source: MBA Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending August 28, 2026.

Points decreased to 0.65 from 0.66, including the origination fee, for loans at 80% loan-to-value. Over the same week, the surveyed 5\/1 ARM rate fell to 5.94% from 5.98%, and its points also declined.<\/p>\n  <p>A 5\/1 ARM generally keeps its initial rate fixed for five years and then adjusts once a year. The new rate is typically based on a market index plus a lender-set margin, subject to the loan&#8217;s caps and floor. The opening payment may be lower than on a fixed-rate loan, but it can rise if the index is higher when the adjustment arrives.<\/p>\n  <p>The comparison should cover the APR, points and fees, initial fixed period, index, margin, adjustment caps, lifetime cap and the highest payment the contract permits. A plan to sell or refinance can change the math, but neither a future sale nor a favorable refinance rate is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"loaning-rate-box\">\n    <h2>Compare mortgage options in minutes<\/h2>\n\n    <div class=\"loaning-rate-form\">\n      <a class=\"loaning-rate-field\" href=\"https:\/\/loaning.ai\/AIMortgageRate?purposeLoan=home_purchase&amp;utm_source=blog_official&amp;utm_medium=loaning_en&amp;utm_campaign=news&amp;utm_content=news_mortgage_rates_0903\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n        <span>Loan Type<\/span>\n        <strong>Purchase<\/strong>\n      <\/a>\n\n      <a class=\"loaning-rate-field\" href=\"https:\/\/loaning.ai\/AIMortgageRate?purposeLoan=home_purchase&amp;utm_source=blog_official&amp;utm_medium=loaning_en&amp;utm_campaign=news&amp;utm_content=news_mortgage_rates_0903\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n        <span>Loan Term<\/span>\n        <strong>30-Year Fixed<\/strong>\n      <\/a>\n\n      <a class=\"loaning-rate-field\" href=\"https:\/\/loaning.ai\/AIMortgageRate?purposeLoan=home_purchase&amp;utm_source=blog_official&amp;utm_medium=loaning_en&amp;utm_campaign=news&amp;utm_content=news_mortgage_rates_0903\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n        <span>City<\/span>\n        <strong>Enter your city<\/strong>\n      <\/a>\n\n      <a class=\"loaning-rate-button\" href=\"https:\/\/loaning.ai\/AIMortgageRate?purposeLoan=home_purchase&amp;utm_source=blog_official&amp;utm_medium=loaning_en&amp;utm_campaign=news&amp;utm_content=news_mortgage_rates_0903\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n        Compare\n      <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <p class=\"loaning-rate-note\">Personalized rates and terms vary by borrower and lender<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <br><br>\n  <h2 id=\"mrt-rates\">\ud83d\udcc8 Why Current Rate Sources Show Different Numbers<\/h2>\n  <p>Mortgage News Daily placed its top-tier 30-year fixed index at 6.91% on September 2, up from 6.89% a day earlier and 6.75% on August 27. Freddie Mac&#8217;s latest weekly average was 6.66% as of August 27, only one basis point above the prior week. MBA&#8217;s 6.79% reading covered applications through August 28.<\/p>\n  <p>Those readings are not interchangeable. Mortgage News Daily is a same-day index that normalizes upfront costs for a top-tier scenario. Freddie Mac averages qualifying conventional, conforming purchase applications over a weekly window and no longer publishes points. MBA reports weekly application contract rates and points separately. The latest daily data support saying rates edged higher, even though the earlier weekly change was nearly steady.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"loaning-important-note\" role=\"note\" aria-label=\"Rate comparison reminder\">\n    <p class=\"loaning-important-note__title\">\u26a0\ufe0f Do not blend the rate series<\/p>\n    <p>A daily top-tier index, a weekly purchase-loan average and a weekly application contract rate answer different questions.
