The Day After . . . Let's Talk Mortgage Rates!

This information was released yesterday by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) and was reported in an article by MarketWatch. As Realtors we are often asked where we think mortgage rates are headed. The best people we think we can look to is the MBA. Here is their take on what to expect:

"After reaching record lows in 2012, mortgage rates are expected to creep up slowly in the year ahead, the Mortgage Bankers Association predicted. Rates on the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage are expected to average 3.8% in the fourth quarter of 2012, rising to 3.9% in the first quarter of 2013 and eventually rising to an average 4.4% by the fourth quarter of next year.”
