Rates Hold On to Last Week’s Improvements to Remain at Two Month Lows.
Approximate Rates for Week Ending 11/18/2022
Rates stayed steady this week with no bounce back from the sharp decreases of last week. This is an encouraging sign that rates have started to find their new stable level although there were several comments from Fed Members saying that although the inflation data was reassuring that their short-term rate hike policy is working it was not enough to put it on pause yet.
86% of experts think that rates will continue to go down and 14% think they will go back up. None are sitting on the fence this week!
With increased 1st lien rates to deter cash out refinances and the Prime Rate’s significant increases to deter traditional variable Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) there is now a new fixed rate HELOC product available. The streamlined process allows quick access to your home equity at fixed rate terms of 5, 10, 15, and 30 years.
Experts are split at 36% each on whether rates will go up or stay the same. 27% think they will go down.
