Mortgage rates were just slightly higher again today, keeping them in line with the highest levels in about 3 weeks. The same caveat applies: we're talking about "effective rates" (which factor in upfront lender costs) as opposed to "note rates" (the actual interest rate that most of us have in mind when discussing mortgage rates). In other words, most prospective borrowers are seeing the same old rate on any given day over the past 3 weeks, but the overall cost of financing, on average, would be highest today.
