Mortgage Rates Decline

Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.47%.

“The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage decreased this week averaging 6.47%,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Incoming data continues to reflect a resilient consumer, with retail sales improving and pending home sales strengthening, suggesting purchase demand is continuing to modestly improve.”
