Fixed Mortgage Rates Jump Higher Following Bond Yields Higher: 30 Year Mortgage Rates at 5.13%, 15 Year Mortgage Rates at 4.29%

Fixed mortgage rates jumped higher in the latest mortgage survey released this morning. Mortgage rates and refinance rates have been heading higher since late in 2010 in all mortgage rate surveys. In the latest Mortgage Application Survey released this morning by the Mortgage Bankers Association, the average contract 30 year mortgage rate is now above 5.00 percent at 5.13 percent. In the previous week's average 30 year mortgage rates averaged 4.81 percent. Average mortgage discount points on 30 year mortgages was 0.84 points, down from the previous week’s average of 1.02 points.

The  average contract 15 year mortgage rate also increased slightly for the week ending February 4, 2011. 15 year mortgage rates averaged 4.29 percent, up from the prior week’s average 15 year rate of 4.13 percent. Mortgage points averaged 1.02 points, an increase from the prior week’s average of 1.01 points.

Higher mortgage rates lead to a drop in mortgage applications for both home purchases and refinances.

The Refinance Index which is a measure of mortgage applications for refinancing decreased 7.7 percent from the previous week.  The seasonally adjusted Purchase Index which is a measure of mortgage applications for purchases decreased 1.4 percent from one week earlier.
