[ad_1] While an important mortgage rate inched upward, rates had no specific trajectory over the last seven days. While 15-year fixed mortgage rates didn’t fluctuate, interest rates on 30-year fixed mortgages made gains. We also saw no variation in the average rate of 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgages. As inflation surged in 2022, so too did mortgage rates. To rein in price growth, the Federal Reserve began bumping up its federal funds rate — a short-term interest rate that determines what banks charge each other to borrow money. By making it more expensive to borrow, the central bank’s goal is to reduce…

The average rate on 10-year fixed refinance moved up.At the start of the pandemic, refinance rates hit a historic low. But in early 2022, the Federal Reserve began hiking interest rates in an effort to curb high inflation. While the Fed doesn’t directly set mortgage rates, its series of rate hikes has led to an increased cost of borrowing among most consumer loan products, including mortgages and refinances.
