Rates and housing are on the move

Not that anyone should panic, but mortgage rates took another jump yesterday. That is twice in two weeks we have seen an increase. Still, with rates at less than 3.5 percent we don't expect a lot of wailing or for those who are shopping for real estate to change their plans. 30-year loans averaged 3.42 percent last week, rising from the previous week's 3.38 percent average. A year ago at this time, 30-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 3.98 percent. The record low for 30-year rates is 3.31 percent, set on Nov. 21, 2012. So we remain in historically low territory, comfortably settled in the middle range of low. Many of us recall the pain of the 18 percent mortgages in the early 1980s, so we are not going to get excited about a rate nearing 3.5 percent.
