From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Barely Higher For Some; Lower For Others

What do you get when you add a modest amount of cost to the average mortgage rate from last Friday? Rates that are still effectively right in line with all-time lows. ...  Purchase rates (30yr fixed, conventional, top tier) are in the 2.375-2.625% range while refinance rates are another 0.25% higher for most lenders (some have even bigger gaps between purchase and refi rates).
