Freddie Mac reported that average mortgage rates for 30-year fixed loans hit an all-time low of 4.69% this week after being at 4.75% the week before. This is very encouraging news for buyers in the market today as this represents tremendous savings per month for a typical mortgage. Unemployment concerns still linger though and demand hasn’t risen tremendously for mortgages largely because of the uncertainty in the job market. Those in a position to buy and with a need shouldn’t grow complacent with the recent low rates as they will not be around forever. Interest rates are a key factor in housing affordability and these tremendously low rates can offset even a further price reduction in the long term.
