Mortgage Rates Drop Back to 4.51 Percent
This morning, long-term mortgage rates dropped back to where they were two weeks ago, as Freddie Mac reported that the average on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage decreased to 4.51 percent with 0.7 of a point, down from 4.6 percent last week. The fall in rates was attributed to a weaker than expected jobs report last week.
As UrbanTurf has said before, the rates reported by Freddie Mac for 30-year mortgages are usually the best rates that the most qualified borrowers can get. A recent article in The Wall Street Journal goes into more detail about this.
Here’s a look at the path of rates since last January:
