Mortgage Rates Move Down Again
Mortgage Rates Move Down Again
Freddie Mac released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®) showing average fixed mortgage rates moving down again across the board. Average fixed rates that continue to run below four percent will help keep affordability high for those in the market to buy a home as we head into the spring homebuying season.
30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgages
According to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®) average 30-year fixed rate mortgages averaged 3.69 percent, down from last week when it averaged 3.78 percent. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 4.40 percent.
15-Year Fixed Rate Mortgages
The average 15-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 2.97 percent, down from last week when it averaged 3.06 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 3.42 percent.
5-Year Adjustable Rate Mortgages
The average five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) averaged at 2.92 percent, down from last week when it averaged 2.97 percent. A year ago, the 5-year ARM averaged 3.10 percent.
1-Year Adjustable Rate Mortgages
The average one-year Treasury-indexed ARM is at 2.46 percent, unchanged from last week. At this time last year, the 1-year ARM averaged 2.44 percent.

Attributed to Len Kiefer, deputy chief economist, Freddie Mac:
“The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 3.69 percent this week following a decline in 10-year Treasury yields. Low mortgage rates are a welcome sign for those in the market to buy a home this spring season and will help to support homebuyer affordability. Existing home sales in February increased slightly, but less than expected, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.88 million units. Meanwhile, new home sales [PDF] outperformed expectations and surged 7.8 percent to an annual pace of 539,000 units.”
