Rates Increase Slightly
For the week ending February 9, 30-year rates rose to 6.12% from 6.09% the week before.

 

Rates calmed down a bit after they rose following the surprise jobs report of the previous week. For the week ending February 9, 30-year rates rose to 6.12% from 6.09% the week before. In addition, 15-year loans increased to 5.25%. A year ago, 30-year fixed rates averaged 3.69%, more than 2.0% lower than today. Attributed to Sam Khater, Chief Economist, Freddie Mac, “Following an interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve and a surprisingly strong jobs report, mortgage rates increased slightly this week. The 30-year fixed-rate continues to hover close to six percent, and interested homebuyers are easing their way back to the market just in time for the spring homebuying season.”
