Mortgage Market in Review
Rates have been moving upward over the past week. Fixed rates are currently at their highest point in the past 3 months. This is mainly due to the markets pricing in an anticipated rate hike by the Fed later at some point in 2016. This rate hike could come as soon as this week, as the Fed will publicize their decision on rates this Wednesday. Most analyst are calling for a rate hike later this year, but stay tuned.
