For the third straight week, mortgage rates remain at a record low.
This morning, Freddie Mac reported 3.87 percent with an average 0.8 point as the average on a 30-year fixed mortgage. Rates have now been below 4 percent for eleven straight weeks and below 5 percent for 52 straight weeks.

However, the Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer sentiment fell in February by more than the market consensus forecast breaking a five month trend.
Here’s a look at the path of rates since last January:
