Mortgage Rates Down Again This Week

Mortgage Rates Down Again This Week 

 

Rates on 30-year mortgages fell for a sixth consecutive week, providing home buyers with more relief from an earlier rise in rates.

 

Mortgage giant Freddie Mac said that 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages dipped to 6.44% this week, down from 6.48% last week.

 

That was the lowest level for 30-year mortgages since they averaged 6.43% the first week in April.

 

Mortgage rates hit a four-year high of 6.80% the week of July 20, before beginning a sustained decline as financial markets became more convinced that a slowing economy would keep inflation under control.
