2026.02.2512:00:00UTC+00U.S. Mortgage Refinance Activity Ticks Higher as Index Rises to 1,432.9

The U.S. Mortgage Refinance Index has continued its upward trajectory, climbing to 1,432.9 from a previous reading of 1,375.9, according to the latest data updated on 25 February 2026. The increase signals a pickup in refinancing activity across the U.S. housing market.

The higher index level suggests more homeowners are opting to refinance existing mortgages, potentially in response to shifting interest rate expectations, changing financial conditions, or efforts to lock in more favorable loan terms. While the data alone does not specify the underlying drivers, the move reflects a measurable rise in demand for refinancing compared with the prior reading.

Market participants will be watching upcoming mortgage and rate data closely to determine whether this increase marks the start of a sustained trend in refinancing or a short-term response to recent economic conditions.
