Friday saw the 30-year mortgage average hold steady, at its highest level in almost three years, while the 15-year and Jumbo 30-year averages rose into higher territory. After ascending four consecutive days, 30-year mortgage rates remained flat Friday. At 4.35%, the average is sitting at its recent peak, which is its most expensive since May 2019. Meanwhile, the 15-year average rose eight points Friday to 3.59%, setting a new recent high. The current average is in a range not seen since March 2020, when rates spiked at the outset of the pandemic.
Jumbo 30-year rates moved a more modest three points up Friday, to 4.05%, and likewise established a new 2022 peak. The last time Jumbo 30-year rates were this pricey was in July 2020. All three mortgage averages have climbed a point or more since a major August dip sank rates to five-month lows. The 30-year average is currently 1.46 percentage points more expensive than the August valley, while the 15-year and Jumbo 30-year averages are up 1.38 and 0.99, respectively. Refinance rates were decidedly mixed Friday, with the 30-year refi average holding still, the 15-year average rising six points, and Jumbo 30-year refi rates dropping a tenth of a point. The cost to refinance with a fixed-rate loan is currently up to 14 points higher than new purchase loans. The rates you see here generally won’t compare directly with teaser rates you see advertised online, since those rates are cherry-picked as the most attractive. They may involve paying points in advance, or may be selected based on a hypothetical borrower with an ultra-high credit score or taking a smaller-than-typical loan given the value of the home. Calculate monthly payments for different loan scenarios with our Mortgage Calculator. https://www.investopedia.com/today-s-mortgage-rates-and-trends-february-22-2022-rates-dip-5219864?state=PREVIEW&et=1645548450995&kw=fakeAds The lowest mortgage rates available vary depending on the state where originations occur. Mortgage rates can be influenced by state-level variations in credit score, average mortgage loan term, and size, as well as individual lenders' varying risk management strategies. Mortgage rates are determined by a complex interaction of macroeconomic and industry factors, such as the level and direction of the bond market, including 10-year Treasury yields; the Federal Reserve's current monetary policy, especially as it relates to funding government-backed mortgages; and competition between lenders and across loan types. Because fluctuations can be caused by any number of these at once, it's generally difficult to attribute the change to any one factor. Macroeconomic factors have kept the mortgage market relatively low for much of this year. In particular, the Federal Reserve has been buying billions of dollars of bonds in response to the pandemic's economic pressures, and continues to do so. This bond-buying policy (and not the more publicized federal funds rate) is a major influencer on mortgage rates. On Jan. 26, the Fed announced that, in light of stronger and more persistent inflation pressure than originally expected, it is sticking to its plan to speed up the timeline for throttling Fed bond buying, reducing the amount they purchase by a large increment each month. This so-called taper began in late November. The Fed's rate and policy committee, called the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), meets every 6-8 weeks. Their next scheduled meeting will be held March 15-16. The national averages cited above were calculated based on the lowest rate offered by more than 200 of the country’s top lenders, assuming a loan-to-value ratio (LTV) of 80% and an applicant with a FICO credit score in the 700-760 range. The resulting rates are representative of what customers should expect to see when receiving actual quotes from lenders based on their qualifications, which may vary from advertised teaser rates. For our map of the best state rates, the lowest rate currently offered by a surveyed lender in that state is listed, assuming the same parameters of an 80% LTV and a credit score between 700-760.

Photo Courtesy of Bob Donnan/USA TODAY Sports It is officially over. With Selection Sunday in the rearview mirror and Syracuse’s name not on the NCAA Tournament or NIT bracket, the 2021-22 season is done. It is probably for the best that it is over. The Orange finished the year 16-17 — the first losing season in the Jim Boeheim era and maybe the beginning of mediocrity in Central New York. When you look at the final record on paper it looks horrible. Syracuse basketball is an esteemed program that expects to win. So anything less than an NCAA Tournament berth is disappointing. However, if you take a deeper dive, you can see that this past year was a season of inches. The hard pill to swallow is the inches were never on your side. if(typeof __ez_fad_position != ‘undefined’){__ez_fad_position(‘div-gpt-ad-orangefizz_net-medrectangle-3-0’)};Let’s start with the elephant in the room — Colgate. A 15 point loss to the Raiders is unacceptable. If the Orange played them again 100 times, they would probably win all 100. A second half collapse did SU in, and from there it snowballed. Cuse took that bad mojo to the Bahamas where it lost to VCU, another team it should have no business losing to. Win against Colgate and you probably beat VCU. 18-15. if(typeof __ez_fad_position != ‘undefined’){__ez_fad_position(‘div-gpt-ad-orangefizz_net-medrectangle-4-0’)};Then there is the Georgetown debacle. The Hoyas somehow came back from being down seven in the second half to win by four. The worst part about it — our best friends from DC won one more game after that game and then lost 21 straight. 21! Syracuse was far and away Georgetown’s best win. There is no reason why the Orange should have lost that game. 19-14. ACC time. This is where the inches hurt the most. Starting with the game at Miami. The Orange were up 14 at half, but lost the game by one. A second half meltdown did SU in. Cuse should not have lost that game. 20-13. The next game was another example of Syracuse not being able to handle the pressure. Against Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, the Orange lost in overtime because they couldn’t get the ball in at the end of regulation and turned it over. If they could execute down the stretch, that would have been another win. 21-12. if(typeof __ez_fad_position != ‘undefined’){__ez_fad_position(‘div-gpt-ad-orangefizz_net-box-4-0’)};Skip to the end of the regular season with North Carolina and Miami on the docket. Both were losses, both should have been wins. Yet again, Syracuse was up late in the game against UNC, but couldn’t execute in the waning seconds and allowed overtime, which they just didn’t show up in. Against Miami, Cuse was up by 11 at half. What happened? You guessed it, another second half meltdown. Both of those games easily should have been wins. 23-10.

If those games of inches went Syracuse’s way, the Orange would have been looking at a 13-7 conference record and much better placement in the ACC Tournament. Cuse may have avoided the top of the bracket, which means they could have avoided Duke until the championship. So, toss on a couple more wins to the record. 24-10. There you have it — 24-10. That is what you expect from Syracuse basketball. That is a definite NCAA Tournament team. That is a team that could make a run in March Madness. Yes, this whole article is a lot of if’s, but they aren’t outlandish. All of those games Syracuse should have won. The Orange had self-inflicted wounds that inch by inch dug their own grave. This year’s team is not as bad as most think. It will go down as the worst in the illustrious career of Jim Boeheim, but in actuality, Syracuse just continually drew the short end of the stick.
