Heading into the Holidays, Mortgage Rates Increase
“This week, mortgage rates crept up to a similar average as this time in 2023,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “For the most part, mortgage rates have moved between 6 and 7 percent over the last 12 months. Homebuyers are slowly digesting these higher rates and are gradually willing to move forward with buying a home, resulting in additional purchase activity.”
