Homeowners are refinancing in big numbers, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. The MBA says refi applications rose 21.1 percent last week and are at their highest level since May 2009. Three-quarters of mortgage applications were from homeowners hoping to refinance.

And the MBA says purchase applications were up, too.

These numbers are seasonally adjusted, and they might be thrown off by the previous week being shortened by Memorial Day.
