Mortgage Rates Slightly Higher, But Steady Overall; Lender Changes to Fee/Price Caps

Mortgage rates rose slightly again today, despite moderate improvement in underlying bond markets. Typically, bond market improvement corresponds to lower rates.

For the past 3 weeks, most borrowers would be quoted the exact same NOTE rate from most
