Home buyers also are facing higher borrowing costs from mortgage rates and higher home prices. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.11% last week<\/a>, according to Freddie Mac. Since the beginning of the year, mortgage rates have jumped by 1.8 percentage points, which has added about $400 to the average monthly mortgage payment for a median-priced home, according to the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
