Average long-term US mortgage rates bounce back to 5.51% ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Average longterm U.S. mortgage rates were back up this week, just as the latest government data shows inflation has not slowed, meaning the Federal Reserve is almost certain to raise its benchmark borrowing rate later this month. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the 30-year rate rose to 5.51% from 5.30% last week. One year ago the average 30year rate was 2.88%. The average rate on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages, popular among those refinancing their homes, rose to 4.67% from 4.45% last week. A year ago, the rate was 2.22%. The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate by a half-point in May and another three-quarters of a point last month, the biggest single hike since 1994. Fed policymakers have signaled that much higher interest rates could be needed to reign in persistent, four-decade high inflation. Most economists expect the Federal Reserve to jack up its borrowing rate another half-tothree-quarters of a point when it meets later this month. Fed officials acknowledge that their rate hikes could weaken the economy, but suggested that such steps were necessary to slow price increases back to the Fed’s 2% annual target. The Labor Department reported Wednesday that its consumer price index soared 9.1% over the past year, the biggest yearly increase since 1981. On Thursday, Labor released data showing that its producer price index rose by 11.3% in June compared with a year earlier.
more complicated now than when they started five years ago. “The real estate market is brutal,” she says, “and a lot of people want to do what we’ve done.” Their struggles with the housing market could suggest that Airbnb’s “It” couple is facing a problem they helped create.
