Current Mortgage Rates Rise in Freddie Mac’s PMMS

Current mortgage rates are higher in Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey released this morning. Treasury yields moved higher on news that the Federal Open Market Committee wasn't planning on immediately starting another round of quantitative easing.

Mixed economic data released this past week and news that additional debt relief for the European Union also contributed to higher bond yields and mortgage rates.

In Freddie Mac's survey conforming 30 year mortgage rates averaged 3.55 percent with 0.7 points for the week ending August 7, 2012. Average 30 year mortgage rates increased from the previous week's average of 3.49 percent which was an all-time record low.
