Mortgage rates jumped higher this week over last, abruptly reversing the down trend we have seen over the past year. Both conforming mortgage rates and jumbo mortgage rates are higher this week over last.

Mortgage rates have increased three out of the last four weeks and will head higher in the coming year. We might see mortgage rates as high as 6.00 percent for 30 year mortgages sometime in 2010.

Mortgage interest rates are increasing but are still very low, historically speaking. Homes are also more affordable now than they have been over the past several years, so even if rates hit 6.00% in 2010 it won’t derail the housing recovery.

After weeks of floating closer and closer to 5 percent, the national average rate on a 30-year fixed conforming mortgage increased slightly this week from 5.06% last week to 5.14%, according to Informa Research Services’ weekly survey of interest rates.

While the average remains low, there are far lower rates available to qualified borrowers. Informa Research Services, a subsidiary of Informa plc (LSE: INF) suggests looking to online tables to find the best deals.

Checking online rates tables, like those found on MonitorBankRates.com can help consumers discover lenders with rates below the national average. For instance, all of the 30-year fixed rates currently posted by AimLoan are well below the national average.

Furthermore, unlike some sites, these online resources require only minimal information to retrieve mortgage rates to fit your unique situation. Usually, the only information needed to see what low rates you may qualify for is loan amount, property value, and location of the property.

Longer term conforming mortgage rates headed lower for the week ending December 21, 2009 after two consecutive weeks of higher mortgage rates. 30-year jumbo mortgage rates were down slightly this week over last but are still near the lows for 2009.

Home equity loan rates had the biggest declines in months, probably because banks are more comfortable lending now that the housing market has stabilized in most of the country.

Mortgage rates are expected to head higher in 2010 especially if the economy picks up steam a lot quicker than recently anticipated. Some economists are now expecting fourth quarter GDP to expand by an aggressive 4.5 percent. A couple of quarters’ growth in that range along with a drop in the unemployment rate will force the FOMC to raise the Fed Fund’s rate.
