Attributed to Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist, Freddie Mac: "Mortgage rates continued to trend upwards this week amid a growing economy led in part by the recovering housing market.

For instance, new home sales totaled 367,000 in 2012, the most in three years and reflected the first annual increase in seven years.

Pending home sales in 2012 averaged its highest reading since 2006. And the S&P/Case-Shiller(R) 20-city composite house price index rose 5.5 percent over the 12-months ending in November 2012, the largest annual growth since August 2006. All of these factors helped residential fixed investment to add nearly 0.4 percentage points to real GDP growth in the fourth quarter alone.
