    what's the highest mortgage rates have ever been?

    Feb 20, 2011 by EGRP4ME | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

    It looks as though they were 15% in the early 80s. Have they ever gone higher?

    Thanks.

    My former principal broker who was very active in the 80's said that she had people in 18% mortgage interest loans. That is the highest I have ever heard of.

    Hopefully the refinanced down the road.

    My dad said when he bought his house they were slightly above 15%.
    I never really believed him.
    I'm sure he had good credit - it was just the going rate.
    He also had a car financed at 18% interest.
    And credit cards were only 22%

    30 fixed mortgage rate history in CA?

    Mar 19, 2007 by GSFKNR | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

    Guys,

    I am looking to purchase a house in the next 60 days. My loan will be about 400k, my credit is 790, my salary is above the average.

    My broker has quoted me around 5.875...He has told me this about 2 months now.

    In all probability your mortgage broker has locked you loan interest rate in anticipation that the rate might go up.

    It has gone down as you indicated, but this is a gamble that one takes when attempting to help a client out.

    Hi

    A lot of companies will charge between 1 and 2% above the normal mortgage rate. Unfortunately, as these same companies have you over a barrel they also charge a fee to arrange the mortgage, sometimes 3 - 5% of the mortgage amount, which

    Chuck Dannis: My Lil' HOTI
