Mortgage rates remain unchanged this morning at Total Mortgage Services, LLC despite a slight up-tick in the national average of fixed-rate mortgages.
Bankrate announced this morning that the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage climbed this week to 4.95 percent this week from 4.92 percent average of the previous week. Additionally, average 15-year fixed mortgage increased to 4.36 percent from 4.34 percent. Adjustable rate mortgages were mixed, with the average 1-year ARM rising to 4.91 percent while the average 5-year ARM fell to 4.21 percent.
“Nervous investors and tenuous financial markets kept a lid on mortgage rates,” Bankrate said. “Although the Federal Reserve is expected to leave short-term interest rates low for the time being, evidence of continued improvement in the U.S. economy will eventually lead to higher mortgage rates as the year progresses.”
On the economic front, stocks climbed higher Wednesday, while bonds inched lower, and the Euro was also higher. Strong data on April home sales and new vehicle sales helped support the market surge. As the week moves ahead, keep an eye on employment numbers and jobless figures for a barometer on market direction.
At Total Mortgage, the 30-year fixed mortgage held steady at a 4.375 percent rate and 4.583 percent APR, and the 15-year fixed mortgage also stayed firm at a 3.875 percent rate and 4.236 percent APR. Additionally, the 30-year fixed FHA was being listed at 4.250 percent rate and 5.178 percent APR, and the 30-year fixed jumbo is offered at 5.250 percent and 5.463 percent APR.
