Mortgage rates still above 7% as home prices surge
Frustrated homebuyers continue to grapple with 7 percent mortgages, with the price of a 30-year fixed mortgage averaging 7.09 percent this week, according to Bankrate's lender survey. Hotter mortgage rates have run in tandem with higher home prices. The typical home for sale hit a new record in May at $419,300, the National Association of Realtors recently reported.

As for next week's long-term mortgage rate prediction, the upward trend for the last three weeks should continue." - July 3
