This is up 0.01% from last week and up from the all-time record low set three weeks ago. Regionally, 30-year rates vary, but the majority of states witnessed an inflation. Rates substantially increased in New York to 4.31% from 4.25%, Pennsylvania to 4.37% from 4.32% and Texas to 4.28% from 4.19%. Rates increased in Massachusetts to 4.27% from 4.25% and New Jersey to 4.27% from 4.26%.
