There has been little movement in mortgage rates today, after a slow climb since May 19. The most notable gains over the period have been in adjustable-rate mortgages, as lenders tweak their initial offering rates to market conditions.
Mortgage Rates: May 27, 2016 (Change from 5/26)
30-year fixed: 3.82% APR (-0.02)
15-year fixed: 3.17% APR (NC)
5/1 ARM: 3.50% APR (+0.01)
While mortgage rates remain uncommonly low, National Association of Realtors chief economist Lawrence Yun is expecting home loan interest rates to rise over the next year.
Speaking to a group of Realtors in Virginia yesterday, Yun offered a bit of advice to homeowners considering a refinance.
“People who want to refinance their homes should probably do so quickly because it’s hard to say exactly when the mortgage rate is going to rise — but I would suggest refinancing sooner rather than later,” Yun said, according to the Bristol Herald Courier.
