"On Thursday, May 21st, a prime mortgage borrower could have obtained
a 30 year fixed rate of 4.75% with a half point fee. On May 27, the
equivalent rate for a prime borrower is 5.375% with a half point fee.
To obtain the 4.75% rate today, a borrower would need to pay
approximately $5,400 on a $250,000 loan to buy the 4.75% rate. The
monthly payment difference on a $250,000 mortgage loan at 5.375% vs.
4.75% amounts to $96 or $1152 per year."
