Mortgage Rates Continue Up and Down Pattern
Mortgage Rates Continue Up and Down Pattern

And this week, they are down.

Mortgage rates, that is. The one week up, two weeks down, two weeks up pattern continues as the markets try to outguess where the Federal Reserve is going with rates, fewer people apply for mortgages, and housing sales in some parts of the country also slide.



This is a holding pattern design to signal the markets not to panic. Aggressive moves in either direction would signal panic. Begin cutting rates and the market would perceive that the you are trying to jumpstart the housing sector again. Raising rates would also be equally problematic. So expect the continued pattern of up/down.

Mortgage Rates Hit Three Year Highs After months

Mortgage Rates Hit Three Year Highs
After months of apparent indecisiveness, mortgages rates seem to have decided on a direction and are heading toward it. Unfortunately that direction is up! Both of the mortgage market surveys we track reported rates at their highest levels since mid-2002 and in one case since 2001.

Rate increases seem natural given the market and where it's headed.

Mortgage Rates Rise Again - 4th straight week
Everyone seems to be covering this latest interest rate rise, namely from 5.73% to 5.77%. These are historically low mortgage rates so I wouldn't fret too much. The real question is what affect this will have on home buyers. Will we see a last minute dash to buy a home before rates rise again? Will the slowly rising rates spark a price bump as people rush into the market before rates rise again? Time will tell.
