This week, rates are at around 5.94 percent for loans with a 20 percent down payment, up 0.14 percent from last week. 

Mortgage applications to refinance homes have fallen, down 83 percent from the same period last year. 

With September’s rates, someone buying a $400,000 home will pay close to $700 more per month than they would have a year ago.
