I've only kept the data since last June ... and the MBA now charges for historical data so I can't check (i'm cheap<G>).

According to the Dow Jones data you posted, the MBA purchase index is off 12% from the same week last year, so it must have been around 450 this time last year.

The peak for the second half of 05 was 513 on Sept. 9th, so we are off 23% since then.
