From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Rates Now Up an Eighth of a Point From Last Week

Mortgage rates continued higher at a relatively fast pace today, pushing farther into the highest levels since early July.  As of this afternoon, the average lender is right in line with those rate offerings from July.  Any higher and we'd have to go back another 2 months to see comparable rates.
...
In fact, for many lenders, the cost of offering a 30yr fixed rate of 3.875% last week now matches the cost of a 4.0% rate this week.  Clients who'd seen quotes of 4.0% are now seeing 4.125%.  The average is somewhere in between for top tier scenarios.
