Daily Real Estate News  |  July 24, 2009  |   30-Year Mortgage Rates Rise
The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage this week rose to 5.2 percent from 5.14 percent a week ago, Freddie Mac reports.

Industry professionals are keeping a close watch on the rate, hoping it does not climb too high and derail a recovery in the housing sector.

The National Association of REALTORS® confirms that sales of previously occupied residences increased for the third consecutive month in June -- something that has not happened in more than five years.
