4.87%: Long-Term Mortgage Rates Continue to Drop
Long-term interest rates continued to fall this week, dropping to 4.87 percent for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage this week from 4.95 percent last week. It is the third week in a row that rates fell following weeks of steady increases.
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.”
Here’s a look at mortgage rate behavior since last January:
