Mortgage Rates Hold Steady This Week
MCLEAN, Va. — Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey, showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage remained unchanged from last week at 3.82 percent.
Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, says, “Mortgage rates were mostly unchanged from last week due to easing of trade tensions with Mexico which helped stabilize markets. These historically low rates should provide continued opportunities for current homeowners to refinance their mortgages – which combined with new homebuyer activity – will help sustain the momentum in the housing market in 2019.”
