For the week ending April 14, 30-year rates rose to 5.00% from 4.72% the week before.
In addition, 15-year loans increased to 4.17% and the average for five-year ARMs also climbed to 3.69%. A year ago, 30-year fixed rates averaged 3.04%, almost 2.00% lower than today. Attributed to Sam Khater, Chief Economist, Freddie Mac, “This week, mortgage rates averaged five percent for the first time in over a decade. As Americans contend with historically high inflation, the combination of rising mortgage rates, elevated home prices and tight inventory are making the pursuit of homeownership the most expensive in a generation.”
