Rates decline again
For the week ending January 19, 30-year rates fell to 6.15% from 6.33% the week before.

 

Rates continued to move lower this past week, influenced by moderating inflation and weaker economic reports. For the week ending January 19, 30-year rates fell to 6.15% from 6.33% the week before. In addition, 15-year loans decreased to 5.28%. A year ago, 30-year fixed rates averaged 3.59%, more than 2.5% lower than today. Attributed to Sam Khater, Chief Economist, Freddie Mac, “As inflation continues to moderate, mortgage rates declined again this week. Rates are at their lowest level since September of last year, boosting both homebuyer demand and homebuilder sentiment. Declining rates are providing a much-needed boost to the housing market, but the supply of homes remains a persistent concern.”
