Rates remain at 9-month lows.
For the week ending January 17, Freddie Mac announced that 30-year fixed rates remained at 4.45%. The average for 15-year loans decreased one tick to 3.88% and the average for five-year adjustables rose to 3.87%. A year ago, 30-year fixed rates averaged 4.04%, less than one-half of one percent lower than today. "Weaker manufacturing data and a more dovish tone from the Federal Reserve left rates on home loans unchanged relative to last week. Interest rate-sensitive sectors of the economy – such as consumer loan demand and homebuilder construction sentiment – are on the mend, which indicates that lower interest rates are beginning to have a positive impact on some segments of the economy," said Sam Khater, Chief Economist, Freddie Mac.
