Great news! Mortgage rates mostly held at last week’s year-to-date lows, offering another opportunity for borrowers to take advantage of savings. Ask a local lender for what is your best type of loan.
“The 30-year mortgage rate, however, remained unchanged at 3.78 percent. If Treasury yields continue to rise, mortgage rates could see an increase in next week’s survey,” says Freddie Mac chief economist Sean Becketti.
Freddie Mac reports the following national averages for the week ending Sept. 14:
- 30-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 3.78 percent, with an average 0.5 point, holding the same average as last week. Last year at this time, 30-year rates averaged 3.50 percent.
- 15-year fixed-rate mortgages: averaged 3.08 percent, with an average 0.5, the same average as last week. A year ago, 15-year rates averaged 2.77 percent.
