Mortgage rates have increased slightly in the last couple months but overall, today’s rates are still affordable.
Here’s a brief? history of 30 year mortgage rates for the last 20 years.
In 1990, rates averaged 10.5%. Rates showed a steady decline year to year until 2004. Rates in 2003 where around 5.6% then jumped to6.4% in 2004. Rates declined again to 5.8% 2005. The roller coaster ride continued in 2006 when rates were up to 6.7%. Rates then began a slow decline through 2010.?
Recently rates dipped into the mid 4% range and are now back in the 5% range. Its hard to predict what rates will do in the coming year but rates are still low.

Thanks for the brief, very helpful!
Carmen, I think the era of cheap money is almost over. If people have any sense whatsoever, they will buy NOW! I think the rates are going to return to those of the Carter years.
