MORTGAGE RATES DROP


30-year fixed-rate loan comes in at 4.75%.

Freddie Mac’s (OTCQB: FMCC) Primary Mortgage Market Survey® shows that mortgage rates dropped in the past week after weeks of moderating.
Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, says, “Mortgage rates declined this week amid a steep sell-off in U.S. stocks. This week’s rate reaction to the volatile stock market is a welcome relief to prospective home buyers who have recently experienced rising rates and rising home prices.”
