The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages increased to 6.35 percent from 6.32 percent, with points increasing to 1.5 from 1.41 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent loan-to-value (LTV) ratio loans.

The average contract interest rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages increased to 6.13 from 6.05 percent, with points decreasing to 1.2 from 1.27 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans.

The average contract interest rate for one-year ARMs remained unchanged at 5.74 percent, with points increasing to 1.14 from 1.09 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans.


A house at the same price is getting less affordable now if you want a fixed rate. Two months ago, the release read:

The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages increased to 6.13 percent from 6.04 percent, with points decreasing to 1.25 from 1.33 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent loan-to-value (LTV) ratio loans.

The average contract interest rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages increased to 5.85 from 5.77 percent, with points decreasing to 1.09 from 1.14 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans.

The average contract interest rate for one-year ARMs increased to 5.87 from 5.84 percent, with points remaining unchanged at 0.72 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans.


Interesting how points have gone up so much recently.
