Mortgage rates continued to rise this week due to the trajectory of both the economy and the pandemic. Even as the availability of existing homes is improving, prices remain high due to homebuyer demand and limitations on housing starts and permits resulting from the ongoing labor and material shortages. Despite these countervailing forces, we expect the housing market to remain strong as we head into the end of the year.
It’s still a great time to leverage your buying power to purchase a new home. Not moving anytime soon? Check your current loan rate as it is still a great time to refinance.
