Mortgage Rates Average 6.30%
Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.30%.
“The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.30% this week,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “As rates had modestly declined the last few weeks, purchase demand has accelerated with purchase applications rising to over 20 percent above a year ago. It is clear that purchase demand continues to hold up as prospective buyers react to both modestly lower rates and more inventory to choose from than the last few years."
