Mortgage Rates Remain Below Four Percent for Twelve Weeks Straight

Mortgage Rates Remain Below Four Percent for Twelve Weeks Straight

Freddie Mac released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing average fixed mortgage rates nudging higher throughout the beginning of the week. However, Fed comments suggesting it may not raise short-term interest rates yesterday, coupled with weaker than expected consumer demand, pushed Treasury yields lower suggesting interest rates may remain lower than reported a while longer.

30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgages

According to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®) average 30-year fixed rate mortgages averaged 3.82 percent, up from last week when it averaged 3.76 percent. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 3.97 percent.

15-Year Fixed Rate Mortgages

The average 15-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 3.03 percent, up from last week when it averaged 2.99 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 3.18 percent.

5-Year Adjustable Rate Mortgages

The average five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 2.88 percent, unchanged from last week. A year ago, the 5-year ARM averaged 2.92 percent.

1-Year Adjustable Rate Mortgages

The average one-year Treasury-indexed ARM is at 2.54 percent, down slightly from last week when it averaged 2.55 percent. At this time last year, the 1-year ARM averaged 2.38 percent.

Attributed to Sean Becketti, chief economist, Freddie Mac:

“As the shock of the weak September employment report wore off, Treasury rates drifted higher. In response, the 30-year mortgage rate climbed 6 basis points to 3.82 percent, marking 12 consecutive weeks below 4 percent. Late-breaking news suggests mortgage rates may remain in this territory a while longer. After this week’s survey closed, Federal Reserve Governor Daniel Tarullo was quoted suggesting the Fed may not act this year, and Wednesday the 10-year Treasury closed under 2 percent in reaction to economic releases indicating weak consumer demand.”
