As the new week begins, mortgage rates are almost perfectly in line with those seen on Friday afternoon. Putting that in context, last Thursday and Friday marked the highest rates in weeks although Friday was quite a bit better. In both cases and again today, the average lender is just over 7% for a top tier conventional 30yr fixed scenario. [30 year fixed 7.04%]
