Freddie Mac (FRE, Fortune 500) said 30-year fixed-rate mortgages averaged 6.32% with an average of 0.7 point in the week ending Thursday, up from 6.09% last week. Last year at this time, the 30-year loan averaged 6.74%.
The last time the 30-year fixed rate mortgage was higher was the week ended Oct. 25, when it averaged 6.33%."
