Mortgage rates ticked up for the third week and the Federal Reserve delivered mixed signals on the U.S. economy. <\/span>
\nThe average cost of a 30-year, fixed-rate home loan was <\/span>3.73 percent<\/span><\/a>, up from 3.68 percent a week ago. At this time last year, the average rate was 3.78 percent, according to Freddie Mac.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will rates keep rising? That depends. Federal Reserve policymakers gave a mixed view of the economy this week and announced they wouldn\u2019t raise their own benchmark short-term borrowing rate. While central bankers don\u2019t control mortgage costs, they can influence them.<\/span>
\nWhen Janet Yellen and her Fed posse raised benchmark rates <\/span>in December<\/span><\/a>, analysts figured the central bank would bump rates four times this year. A Fed rate hike is typically a vote of confidence in the economy. Generally when the economy is healthy, mortgages cost more. <\/span>
\nBut after the Fed acted last year, global financial markets hit the skids. Investors sought shelter in U.S. bonds, pushing interest rates and the cost of home loans down.<\/span>
\nThree months later, the economy remains less than perfect, mortgages are cheap and Yellen & Co. <\/span>said<\/span><\/a> they\u2019ll raise their benchmark rate only twice this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant only gradual increases in the federal funds rate,\u201d Yellen told reporters yesterday. \u201cThe federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run.\u201d<\/span>
\nTranslation:<\/span><\/i> Borrowing costs will stay low for a while. <\/span>
\nThat said, Fed policymakers aren\u2019t really planning types and we can\u2019t always count on them to do what they say they might. \u201cPolicy is not on a pre-set course,\u201d Yellen said.<\/span>
\nTranslation:<\/span><\/i> Like everyone else, Yellen\u2019s team is watching to see what the economy does. If things stay on track, that\u2019s good for everyone, even if it means slightly pricier home loans. The housing market can handle a gradual increase in borrowing costs.<\/span>
\n\u201cIt is clear that conditions have neared the point that would warrant another rate hike,\u201d said <\/span>Curt Long<\/span><\/a>, chief economist at <\/span>the <\/span>National Association of Federal Credit Unions, after yesterday\u2019s Fed meeting. <\/span>\u201cThe labor market is strong, inflation is improving and fears over global growth have dissipated somewhat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
