PMMS 9/30/2021
The average 30-year-fixed mortgage rate rose 13 basis points to 3.01% for the week ending Sept. 30. Mortgage rates had been roughly flat for seven weeks, and this is the first time it rose above 3% since June.
Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, said in a statement that rates rose across all loan types.
“Many factors led to this increase, including the Federal Reserve communicating that it will taper its support of the capital markets, the broadening of inflation and emerging energy supply shortages which compound other labor and materials shortages,” Khater said.
According to Khater, mortgage rates are expected to continue to rise modestly which will likely have an impact on home prices.
