Interest rates are up slightly, hovering around or above 7%. Some loans like FHA have slightly lower interest rates but additional add-ons. The Iran war is continuing and oil prices are up a little, which in turn raises interest rates. I’m told the Federal Reserve plans on raising rates again later this year.
If I were buying a home right now I would seriously consider an adjustable-rate for its several year initial discount and refinance when rates are down. If you wait till interest rates are down, then equally home prices will be up. The following link is not necessarily the absolute best rates, so shop around or call me and I’ll give you a few referrals of lenders who could beat these average rates.
