From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Highest Mortgage Rates in More Than a Month



Mortgage rates may have managed to remain mostly flat last week, but they did so near their highest levels in several weeks. After moving up at a moderate pace today, they're now at the highest levels in just over a month. After being as low as 3.375-3.5% for a top tier conventional 30yr fixed quote in early September, the average lender is now roughly 0.5% higher in rate. [Most Prevalent Rates 30YR FIXED 3.75-3.875%]
