30 Mortgage Rates Up

The average rate on 30-mortgages toped 5 % this month. Rates followed Treasury notes fueled by fear of higher inflation. Five percent is still wonderful though. It’s all relative but some of us remember 18% rates! 5% is a once in a lifetime opportunity for this buyer’s market. On a $200,000 loan compared to November’s rates is still less than $100 per month. And with enough down and a score above 650 you might get a rate of 3.5%. It’s all relative, but still great! Go on my website to Mortgage Center to get a quote.
