Mortgage Market in Review:

Interest rates for home loans have reached 7 year highs this week. However, this may be what’s getting borrowers back to their brokers — fear that rates could move significantly higher in the coming months. Buyers who might have been thinking rates could move even lower may now be reacting to a new surge in rates, thinking they’d better get in now while the getting is still relatively good. Mortgage applications for purchases were pretty slow all summer, but have gained on an weekly basis for the past five weeks. Whether or not the upward trend in mortgage rates will continue, and how this impacts our local market is something we will see play out this Fall.
