I was trying to refinance since rates were low and Today my mortgage broker told me that rates jumped so high it’s not worth it

What happened what’s going on

They didn't jump "so high".

When the market is volatile banks lend at much higher rates. So the interest rate a couple months ago was in the low 3s, then it dipped again and now it is back up and will remain higher until the msrket settles. Which which likely only happen once everything opens again.

I am in the business. Rates did jump much higher than they were. They are still not totally there. Lots of people wanted to refinance and when it came down to it it was not worth it. Rates were low for a few days, but at the end of those days, the investors bumped back a lot of locks so a lot of people were not able to refinance that wanted to. Hopefully the rates will come down again.
