Mortgage rates are lower in June, hitting a new low for the month on June 25th by pushing the 30yr fixed rate for best-case scenarios to 4.125%.
Although mortgage rates have pulled back slightly in June, experts still expect rates to rise over the next several months. So expect the longer-term trend to continue upward.
Forbes contributor, Bill Conerly, updated his forecast for 2015 interest rates and expects mortgage rates to get up to about 6% by the end of 2015.
Long-term mortgage rates get up to around six percent by the end of 2015, but that’s not deadly to the economy.
