Mortgage rates dropped again this past week, according to Freddie Mac’s Weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey. The average rate on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage now stands at 4.87% with average points and fees of 0.7, down from 4.94% the week before.
These are the lowest the rates have been since mid-May, and very near the all-time low of 4.78% established in April 2009.
Rates on the 15-year fixed rate mortgage averaged 4.33%, with average points and fees of 0.7. This is the lowest the 15-year rate has been since Freddie Mac began tracking the data in 1991.
