Mortgage rates increased in the latest mortgage survey. Higher mortgage rates, erratic stock market swings and uncertainty about the economy kept potential home buyers on the sidelines as the demand for mortgages decreased. In the most recent Weekly Mortgage Application Survey released by the Mortgage Bankers Association current 30 year mortgage rates are averaging 4.39% for the week ending August 19, 2011, up from the previous week's average mortgage rate of 4.32%. As a result mortgage applications decreased 2.4 percent from one week earlier.
