The interest rate continued to increase this year and the FED may increase it yet one more time before the year is out. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has averaged above 7% for the last five consecutive weeks and remains considerably higher than the 2% to 3% averages they were over a year earlier. This too impacts buyers with their purchases.
