The average rate on a 30-year mortgage in the U.S. edged higher this week, ending a seven-week slide that helped ease borrowing costs for home shoppers just in time for the spring homebuying season.

Total mortgage applications rose 11.2% week to week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s seasonally adjusted index.

After notching a four-month low early last week, 30-year mortgage rates inched up a bit and are now wavering. Rate movement was mixed for other loan types Tuesday.
