4.27%: The Record Mortgage Rate (For This Week, At Least)
Thirty-year fixed-rate mortgages dropped to 4.27 percent this week, according to Freddie Mac. That beats last week’s already-historic 4.32 percent, which was the lowest on record since Freddie Mac started keep tracking in 1971.
After bouncing around a little bit in the past few months, long-term interest rates have been dropping for the past couple weeks.
The interest rate news comes a day after The Washington Business Journal reported that DC-area median home prices were up 3.9 percent between the second and third quarter of 2010, and year-over-year prices were up 7.4 percent. The data came from a report provided by real estate data provider Clear Capital.
