Mortgage Rates Stay Steady
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage didn’t budge this week, maintaining its same 3.68% average from last week.
“This week the economy sent mixed signals, leaving mortgage rates unchanged,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Survey data for manufacturing and service industries varied while construction spending fell modestly. However, home buyer demand continued to improve, rising eight percent. Clearly, home buyers remain bullish on the real estate market.”
Freddie Mac reports the following national averages with mortgage rates for the week ending Dec. 5:
- 30-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 3.68%, with an average 0.5 point, holding the same as last week. Last week at this time, 30-year rates averaged 4.75%.
- 15-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 3.14%, with an average 0.4 point, falling slightly from last week’s 3.15% average. A year ago, 15-year rates averaged 4.21%.
- 5-year hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages: averaged 3.39%, with an average 0.4 point, falling from last week’s 3.43% average. A year ago, 5-year ARMs averaged 4.07%.
