For the week ending September 30, 30-year rates rose to 3.01% from 2.88% the week before.
In addition, 15-year loans increased to 2.28% and the average for five-year ARMs rose to 2.48%. A year ago, 30-year fixed rates averaged 2.88%, approximately .125% lower than today. Attributed to Sam Khater, Chief Economist, Freddie Mac - "Mortgage rates rose across all loan types this week as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield reached its highest point since June. Many factors led to this increase, including the Federal Reserve communicating that it will taper its support of the capital markets, the broadening of inflation and emerging energy supply shortages which compound other labor and materials shortages. We expect mortgage rates to continue to rise modestly which will likely have an impact on home prices, causing them to moderate slightly after increasing over the last year.”
