U.S. Mortgage Rates Jump Again in Mid-July
According to Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the average U.S. mortgage rate rose across the board for the second consecutive week in Mid-July.
Sean Becketti, chief economist of Freddie Mac said, "After fully absorbing the sharp increases in Treasury yields over the past couple of weeks, the 30-year mortgage rate has cleared the psychologically important 4 percent mark for the first time since May. Today's survey rate stands at 4.03 percent, up 7 basis points from last week."
