4.63%: Rates Hit 2011 Low
Long-term mortgage rates dipped for the fourth week in a row this morning, as Freddie Mac reported 4.63 percent with 0.7 of a point as the average on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, down from 4.71 percent with 0.7 of a point last week. Today’s rate represents the lowest long-term rate in the past five months.
Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist Frank Nothaft on today’s rates:
“Mortgage rates continued to decline this week following a mixed employment report. The economy added a healthy number of 244,000 workers in April, the most in 11 months, and the figures for March and February were revised up by 56,000 more jobs.
Here’s a look at the path of mortgage rates since last January:
