Recent headlines have touted lower mortgage rates and while rates are still historically low, borrowers who are considering locking in a rate should know that home loan pricing has moved noticeably higher in the past two days, particularly for 30-year mortgages. And the rate hikes have affected purchase loans as well as refinances.
The NerdWallet Mortgage Rate Index compiles annual percentage rates — lender interest rates plus fees, the most accurate way for consumers to compare rates. Here are today’s average rates for the most popular loan terms:
Purchase Mortgage Rates: July 11, 2016
(Change from 7/8)
30-year fixed: 3.58% APR (+0.03)
15-year fixed: 2.97% APR (NC)
5/1 ARM: 3.37% APR (+0.02)
Refinance Mortgage Rates: July 11, 2016
