Mortgage Rates Wednesday, March 29: Bouncing Higher

Mortgage rates for30- and 15-year fixed loans, as well as 5/1 ARMs, all bounced a bit higher today, according to a NerdWalletsurvey of current mortgage rates published by national lenders Wednesday morning.

Meanwhile, home loan applications barely budged last week, falling just 0.8% from the week before, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. However, as the home buying season begins, the real estate market seems to be off to a good start.

“As an early gauge of spring buying activity, purchase applications for the last four weeks were all higher than the corresponding week a year ago, up an average of 4.8% on a year-over-year basis,” Lynn Fisher, vice president of research and economics with the MBA, told CNBC.
