Mortgage Rates Increase This Week but Will Decline in the Coming Days

The increase in 10 year bond yields this past week has sent average conforming mortgage rates higher. The increase in mortgage rates won't last for long. Bond yields have fallen 0.10 percent since the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes were released yesterday afternoon. The meeting minutes showed Federal Reserve officials agreed to end the Fed's bond buying program by October instead of at the end of 2014.
