Current Mortgage Rates – Higher Mortgage Rates Ahead

current-mortgage-rates-higher-mortgage-rates-aheadMortgage rates jumped higher at the end of last week with most of the increases in mortgage interest rates coming at the end of the week. The sudden increase in current mortgage rates was brought on by better unemployment numbers and the belief that the recession will end this quarter.

Most economists are now expecting growth in the 2% to 3% range in the second half of 2009 if consumers pick up there spending and the unemployment rate doesn't get much higher. As a result of the better economic outlook today's mortgage rates are expected to head even higher before the end of 2009 and into 2010.
