Mortgage rates continue to climb — and could reach 8% soon

Even though mortgage rates have already reached their highest point in 20-plus years , there's a chance they could climb even higher — even as high as 8%. It all depends on how the Federal Reserve decides to tackle stubborn inflation in the next few months, economists told CBS MoneyWatch.

Fed officials said they believe high inflation is still enough of a threat to the U.S. economy to possibly warrant additional interest rate increases to help combat the issue, according to minutes released this week from their July policy meeting.

Should the Fed decide to raise rates again at its next meeting in September, it would be the 12th in 18 months and could mean even higher costs for homebuyers.
