Rates continued to be volatile day-to-day, but ended up last week about where they started from the previous week.

A year ago, 30-year fixed rates averaged 4.67%, more than 1.5% lower than today. Attributed to Sam Khater, Chief Economist, Freddie Mac, “Economic uncertainty continues to keep mortgage rates down. Over the last several weeks, declining rates have brought borrowers back to the market but, as the spring homebuying season gets underway, low inventory remains a key challenge for prospective buyers.”
