The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 7.09% in the week ending August 17, up from 6.96% the week before. Rates have been above 6.5% since the end of May and climbing higher since mid-July. This week’s average rate is the highest the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage has been since April 2002 when it was 7.13%.

So glad I got 2.5% on my 30 year fixed a couple of years ago when I refi'd.

I NEVER thought I would see a rate that low. I am still amazed at it.

2.75 on a 20 year when I refinanced in...2020 I think. You can bet your ass I have zero plans to sell. I would like some more land but not right now.
