Mortgage Rates: 30 Year Mortgage Rates and 15 Year Mortgage Rates Increase Slightly

Mortgage Rates increased slightly in the latest Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey released this morning by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA). 30 year mortgage rates, 15 year mortgage rates and 1 year adjustable mortgage rates all increased slightly for the week ending January 22, 2010.

Although mortgage rates increased this week mortgage refinancing still took a big hit. Current mortgage rates have been so low for awhile now everyone who could refinance their home loan probably already has refinanced.

MBA’s Vice President of Research and Economics had the following take on mortgage refinancing.
