Mortgage rates rose to 6.46% for the week ending April 2, a seven-month high, according to Freddie Mac. For a buyer purchasing the median-priced home of $403,450 with 20% down, the monthly payment is now roughly $2,031, up $17 from last week. Rates remain slightly below the 6.64% average from the same period last year, saving today's buyers about $39 a month compared to a year ago.
