Mortgage Rates Keep Rising
Mortgage rates climbed again this week. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is now 6.31 percent, up from 6.15 percent last week.
1-Year Adjustable Rate Mortgages jumped up even quick, from 4.91 percent last week to 5.09 percent this week. It seems that ARM rates are climbing faster than fixed-rate mortgages. This is making ARMs less desirable than they were before.
