Lower Rates Help As Many Homebuyers Face A Reset Of Their ARM
 |
Last week, Freddie Mac released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) in which the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.31 percent with an average 0.5 point for the week ending September 13, 2007, down from last week when it averaged 6.46 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.43 percent. Interest rates on prime conforming loans fell across the board in the past week, with rates on 30-year fixed mortgages averaging 0.15 percentage points below the previous week’s level. The drop in mortgage rates may give some relief to borrowers who are looking to refinance or purchase a home. All the mortgage products in Freddie Mac’s survey this week were lower than they were at the same time last year. |
