From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Edge Slightly Higher Again
Mortgage rates have been falling so much and with such regularity in 2020 that there’s scarcely been a reason (or even an opportunity) to talk about anything else. Now suddenly, we have 2 straight business days with the average lender’s rates getting modestly worse. Is this the beginning of the end?
Maybe… Probably not, but that’s not the point. The point I will continue to make about this record-breaking run into the lowest rate range ever is that it will come to an end at some point. [Top Tier Scenarios 30YR FIXED: 2.92%]
