The evidence provides three completely different figures for the total mortgage application volume change: one source says it surged 7.9%, another says it dropped 12.7%, and a third says it rose 0.2%. None of these match the claim's 1.7% increase.

Different sources report different rates for the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage: one reports a decrease to 6.17%, another an increase to 6.45%, and another a rate of 6.24%.

The evidence contradicts the claim. One source states purchase applications fell 4% (while being 5% higher than a year ago), while another mentions they gained for the fourth consecutive week without specifying the 4% and 7% figures mentioned in the claim.

Sources provide conflicting data for refinance applications: one reports a 4% decrease (109% higher than a year ago), another reports a 2% decrease (28% higher than a year ago). While the 28% figure matches the claim, the weekly percentage change (2% vs 1%) differs.

While one source mentions a 14 basis point increase, it attributes it to a Freddie Mac survey, not Mortgage News Daily. Another source mentions a 16 basis point increase in April. There is no confirmation of a 14 basis point increase specifically from Mortgage News Daily for the current week.
