Little Change in Mortgage Rates

MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its  (PMMS®), showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.74 percent.

“The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate saw little change again this week and averaged just 3.9% during 2019, the fourth lowest annual average level since 1971 when Freddie Mac started its weekly survey,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist.

Khater continued, “Heading into 2020, low mortgage rates and the improving economy will be the major drivers of the housing market with steady increases in home sales, construction and home prices. While the outlook for the housing market is bright, worsening housing affordability is no longer a coastal phenomenon and is spreading to many interior markets and it is a threat to the continued recovery in housing and the economy.”
