“The combination of higher mortgage rates and the slowdown in economic growth is weighing on the housing market,” Freddie Mac's Sam Khater said in a statement. “Home sales continue to decline, prices are moderating, and consumer confidence is low.

The UrbanTurf Mortgage Rate Disclaimer: The rates reported by Freddie Mac for 30-year mortgages are usually the best rates that the most qualified borrowers can get, so borrowers or those considering refinancing should not necessarily read this news and think that they can go out and get a loan with the quoted interest rate.
