16 75 percent mortgage rates hit record high
Washington reports the Federal Home Loan Bank Board data showing an all time high for average committed rates on new conventional mortgages to buy a single family home with 75 percent LTV and 25 year term. The rate rose to 16.75 percent in early June, up from 16.12 in May and 12.52 at a low point. Poor deposit flows at savings and loan institutions and higher borrowing costs contributed to the jump.
