Rates were steady for the second straight week.
For the week ending February 11, Freddie Mac announced that 30-year fixed rates remained at 2.73%, the same as the week before. The average for 15-year loans fell to 2.19% and the average for five-year ARMs rose slightly to 2.79%. A year ago, 30-year fixed rates averaged 3.47%, almost 0.75% higher than today. "It's a tale of two economies. The services economy remains in the doldrums, but the production side of the economy remains strong. New COVID-19 cases are receding, which is encouraging and that has led to a rise in Treasury rates. But the run-up in Treasury rates has not impacted mortgage rates yet, which have held firm. The residential real estate market remains solid given healthy purchase demand while implied real-time home price growth is high, due to the inventory shortage that is plaguing the housing market," said Sam Khater, Chief Economist, Freddie Mac.
