Mortgage rate climbs as NC keeps home loans tight
In Raleigh Rep. Daniel Lilley says removing the 8 percent ceiling may keep mortgage money flowing despite rates near 9 percent. Critics, led by Lillian Woo, warn rates could reach 10 to 11 percent, squeezing middle income buyers. Banks report 9 percent as typical with NCNB and others barely easing. The measure expires next summer unless extended.
