Today’s Mortgage Rates Move Higher as Property Values Rise $372 Billion in Q1

Today's mortgage rates are higher as Treasury yields bounced off record lows set last week. In another report homeowners saw an aggregate $372 billion rise in property values over the first three months of 2012 according to a statistical release from the Federal Reserve.

Record low mortgage rates today are finally helping the housing market recover from some of the home price declines since 2006. Record low refinance rates are also helping millions of homeowners refinance to a lower refinance rate.

Current mortgage rates which are only sightly higher from all-time record lows haven't curtailed the demand for mortgages as the MBA's survey showed a 18 percent increase in the demand for mortgage loans this week.
