"Mortgage Rates Jump to Highest Levels Since Last Monday"
From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Jump to Highest Levels Since Last Monday
Mortgage rates moved noticeably higher to start the new week--high enough that you'd have to go back to last Monday to see anything higher. That's the bad news.Tuesday:
The good news is that rates are in the midst of their flattest trend in a long time. This is true both in a broad sense going back to Q4 2022 and a more recent/narrow sense going back to mid-March. Since then, the top tier 30yr fixed rate hasn't strayed too far from 6.5% despite spending time on both sides of that level. [30 year fixed 6.65%]
