Mortgage Rates Inch Higher as Housing Activity Picks Up
“The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage returned to last month’s level of 6.11%,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Despite the modest uptick, buyers are responding to rates in this range, with existing-home sales increasing 1.7% in February. Purchase applications also increased this week, a welcome sign as buyers enter spring homebuying season with rates down more than half a percentage point compared to the same time last year.”
