What’s Happening with Mortgage Rates, and Where Will They Go from Here?

Based on the Primary Mortgage Market Survey from Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage has increased by 1.2% (3.22% to 4.42%) since January of this year. The rate jumped by more than a quarter of a point from just a week ago. Sam Khater, Chief Economist at Freddie Mac, explained in a press release last week, “This week, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage increased by more than a quarter of a percent as mortgage rates across all loan types continued to move up. Rising inflation, escalating geopolitical uncertainty and the Federal Reserve’s actions are driving rates higher and weakening consumers’ purchasing power.”

In a recent article by Bankrate, several industry experts weighed in on where rates might be headed going forward. Here are some of their forecasts:

A Key To Building Wealth Is Homeownership

But many people may not realize just how much owning a home contributes to your overall net worth.
Here are just a few reasons why, if you’re looking to increase your financial stability, homeownership is a worthwhile goal.
>>Owning a Home Is a Building Block for Financial Success

The Many Benefits of Homeownership

Here’s a look at a few of the non-financial and financial benefits of owning a home. If you’re looking to buy a home today, think about all the ways homeownership can impact your life.

>>Homeownership Has Impactful Personal and Emotional Benefits
Owning your home gives you a significant sense of pride because it’s a space which is truly yours. And as a homeowner, you can customize your home to your heart’s desire. Having a space you’ve put your stamp on enhances the pride and sense of ownership you may feel. And that sense of ownership can extend beyond your shelter to help create social, community, and civic benefits as well.
