Freddie Mac: Mortgage Rates Remained Flat This Week

Freddie Mac released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey^® (PMMS^®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.35 percent.

“Mortgage rates remained flat this week as markets await the release of the highly anticipated August jobs report,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Even though rates have come down over the summer, home sales have been lackluster. On the refinance side however, homeowners who bought in recent years are taking advantage of declining mortgage rates in order to lower their monthly payments.”
