If you've followed the real estate and mortgage market data over the past few months, you've noticed that mortgage interest rates have risen quite a bit lately. Mortgage interest rates were lately at their buck than they ever have been because of the dawdling housing market and sluggish economy. The probability is that the interest rates might not be this low again.
The million dollar question is what will happen to mortgage interest rates in the future? Nobody knows for sure, but the leading "experts" from the Mortgage Bankers Association are predicting that mortgage rates for Katy TX Homes, for instance, will rise each quarter throughout 2011. Perhaps the economy could take another turn down where the interest rates could also go back down.
The MBA is predicting that for conventional 30-Year fixed mortgages, the average interest rate during Q1 of 2011 will be 5.2 percent. Q2 will raise one tenth to 5.3 percent, another tenth in Q3, and where Q4 have an average mortgage interest rate at 5.5 percent.
A 5.5 percent mortgage rate is pretty exceptional from a historic standpoint. However, the current average rate of 4.97 percent isn’t as good as the predicted one. Furthermore, the MBA foresees that by the end of 2012 the average interest rates will reach 6.1 percent.
These mortgage interest rates are just projections. The predictions can be either right or completely inaccurate. One thing that is sure in the real estate market is that mortgage interest rates are staggering right now. If you are thinking about refinancing sometime in the near future, do it now, don't wait.
