MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its (PMMS®), showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 2.87 percent.

“The tug-of-war between the economic recovery and rising COVID-19 cases has left mortgage rates moving sideways over the last few weeks,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Overall, rates continue to be low, with a window of opportunity for those who did not refinance under three percent. From a homebuyer perspective, purchase application demand is improving, but the major obstacle to higher home sales remains very low inventory for consumers to purchase.”
