Right now, the economy is progressing, which makes this increase normal. However, rates are likely to gradually rise in the second half of the year. Therefore, if you are an owner who has been thinking about refinancing, now is a good time to do so.
US mortgage rates hit a record low of 2.65% in January, but have been close to 3% for a couple of weeks now. These low rates have cause d the housing market to boom, giving a lot of Americans buying power.
