From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Fall Back Below 7%Last Friday was notable in that it was the first day since February 19th where the average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate ended the day over 7%. Last week was also notable for ranking among the more abrupt weeks for rising rates over the past few years.
Things are getting off to a friendlier start in the present week with the 30yr fixed rate index edging back below 7%–roughly in line with levels seen last Wed/Thu. [30 year fixed 6.98%]
