Mortgage Rates Beginning to Rise

Mortgage rates have begun to inch back up as government support runs its course and interest rates rise. On December 24, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was 5.05percent, the first time it has gone above 5 percent since the end of October. According to Amy Crews Cutts, deputy chief economist at Freddie Mac, “Extraordinary resources have been put into keeping the rates down and supporting the mortgage market, and it’s hard to imagine that the rates can go much lower than they are.”
