After a Multi-week Climb, Mortgage Rates Level Off
MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 7.76 percent.
“The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage paused its multi-week climb but continues to hover under eight percent,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “The Federal Reserve again decided not to raise interest rates but have not ruled out a hike before year-end. Coupled with geopolitical uncertainty, this ambiguity around monetary policy will likely have an impact on the overall economic landscape and may continue to stall improvements in the housing market.”
