Key Mortgage Rate Climbs Again: The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco said the 11th District cost of funds, the rate to which many adjustable-rate mortgages are tied, rose to 4.367% in November from 4.187% in October. It was the eighth straight monthly increase in the rate, reflecting the general rise in interest rates in 1994. The rate measures the average cost of funds to the thrifts and financial institutions in the bank’s 11th District, which covers California, Arizona and Nevada.
