After three weeks of steady drops, long-term interest rates rose ever so slightly for 30-year fixed rate mortgages this week to 4.88 percent from 4.87 percent last week. A year ago, 30-year fixed rate mortgages were at 4.95 percent.
From Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist at Freddie Mac:
“Mortgage rates saw an overall improvement this week. Interest rates for 30-year fixed mortgages were almost 0.2 percentage points below this year’s high set just three weeks ago. This means that homebuyers could now expect to pay $263 less per year on a $200,000 loan.”
