What happened?

- 30-year jumbo loan rates fell 10 basis points week over week to 7.75%, according to HousingWire
- Selma Hepp, chief economist at Cotality, said mortgages are priced off long-dated Treasuries and that rising yields are now driving rate levels
- David Temko, C2 Financial's president and CEO, said rates are staying high because of a resilient economy, climbing energy costs, and Treasury debt going head-to-head with corporate debt over attracting buyers.
Economists and lending executives quoted in the coverage attributed the elevated levels to rising long-dated Treasury yields, inflation and competition between government and corporate debt for investors.
