U.S. Mortgage Rates at 2015 High Heading Into Holiday Weekend
2015-07-06
According to Freddie Mac latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS), the average fixed mortgage rate reached a new 2015 high heading into the holiday weekend and ahead of the June jobs report.
Sean Becketti, chief economist of Freddie Mac says, "Overseas events are generating significant day-to-day volatility in interest rates. Nonetheless, the week-to-week impact on most rates was modest -- the 30-year mortgage rate increased just 6 bps, to 4.08 percent. The MBA composite index of mortgage applications fell 4.7 percent in response to what is now three consecutive weeks of mortgage rates over 4 percent. Other measures, however, confirmed continued strength in housing -- pending home sales rose 0.9 percent, exceeding expectations, and the Case-Shiller house price index recorded another solid increase."
