(Worthy News) – Rates for home loans continued to surge for the sixth consecutive week, now reaching the highest level in more than 15 years as more home shoppers retract from the market.
The 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.7% for the week ending September 29, up from 6.29% one week ago, according to Freddie Mac.
