Mortgage Rates Hit Another All-Time Low

Mortgage Rates Hit Another All-Time Low

MCLEAN, Va., May 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its  (PMMS®), showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.15 percent.

“The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has again hit the lowest level in our survey’s nearly 50-year history, breaking the record for the third time in just the last few months,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “These unprecedented rates have certainly made an impact as purchase demand rebounded from a 35 percent year-over-year decline in mid-April to an 8 percent increase as of last week—a remarkable turnaround given the sharp contraction in economic activity. Additionally, refinance activity remains elevated and low mortgage rates have been accompanied by a $70,000 decline in the average loan size of refinance borrowers this year. This means a broader base of borrowers are taking advantage of the record low rate environment, which will benefit the economy.”
