Rates On Mortgages Hold Steady

by

The 30-year FRM inched a mere .01 percentage points higher this week to wind up at 3.65%, while the 15-year version fell .02 percentage points to 3.14%. U.S. long-term rates on mortgages held steady this week, supplying a potential boon to home-buyers amid an uncertain economic outlook.

Long-Term Rates On Mortgages Hold Steady

 

Mortgage rates are actually running near historic lows, though average rates for the key 30-year loan showed volatile swings last month.

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the typical rate on the 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage edged up to 3.65% from 3.64% last week. In comparison, the average rate stood at 4.71% a year ago.

The average rate for 15-year, fixed-rate home loans slipped this week to 3.14% from 3.16% last week.

So with that said, you can see why now is an unbelievable time to purchase your new home. As mortgage rates remain low, it allows you to be qualified for a higher amount. Every time the interest rates changes it will effect your purchasing power. If rates go up, your purchase amount will go down and if rates go down your purchase amount will go up. Hope that makes sense.
