Just before the holiday, long-term mortgage rates fell again. 

Freddie Mac reported 6.67% as the average on a 30-year mortgage, down ten basis points from the previous week. It was the largest week-over-week drop since March.

“The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage decreased for the fifth consecutive week," Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist, said. "Declining mortgage rates are encouraging and, while overall affordability challenges remain, we are seeing more sellers enter the market giving prospective buyers an advantage.”

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.
