Home Mortgage Interest Rates are Climbing

Home mortgage interest rates have reached their highest point in seven months.

A recent survey by mortgage lender Freddie Mac shows 30-year mortgage rates are now above 6 percent.

Analysts say, the rate hike has caused homebuyers to turn to so-called "hybrid adjustable rate mortgages".

Hybrid mortgages allow homebuyers to lock in rates for three, five or seven years.

Those mortgages averaged 5.35 percent.
