4.16: Rates Bounce Back Up: Figure 1

Rates bounced back up this week.

On Thursday morning, Freddie Mac reported 4.16 percent with an average 0.8 point as the average on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.

Two weeks ago, rates dropped from 4.28 to 4.13 percent; last week, they continued their fall to 4.10.
