Mortgage Rates Maintain their Ascent

MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its  (PMMS®), showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 5.89 percent.

Our research indicates that borrowers could save an average of $1,500 over the life of a loan by getting one additional rate quote and an average of about $3,000 if they get five quotes.”
