Mortgage rates shot back up to the highest levels in more than 7 years. Thursday's weekly Freddie Mac's rate survey data was announced today. The data is a comparison of last Monday and Tuesday against the rates/activities of this Monday and Tuesday. Unless there is a major bond reversal Friday, we can expect for rates to increase into next week. Bookmark this page for mortgage rates: •...

Mortgage rates, last week, took a major nose dive, creating new highs; rates hit their highest in the last 2 months and 4 months. This week shows no scaling back. Rates this week are headed towards long-tern highs. How long will it be before 30yr fixed rates of 5 percent are a thing of the past? At 5%, this would put most lenders at the highest 30yr fixed rates have been since 2011. Bookmark this page for mortgage...

As mortgage rates have continued to climb this week, today rates were able to hold somewhat steady, but not enough to prevent them from reaching the highest levels in seven years. The trend speaks for itself! Loan originators suggest locking new loans closing within 60 days.

Rates are now at four-month highs. Mortgage rates have had a bad few days this week; even after the Retail Sales report, that typically helps improve rates. Bonds have also had a rough week - sellers had to drop bond prices this week to urge investors to purchase. This "behavior" will only continue to push mortgage rates higher.
