Mortgage Rates at an All Time Low
April 30, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Freddie Mac’s weekly mortgage rate survey, Prime Mortgage Market Survey (aka PMMS) revealed the lowest mortgage rates since Freddie Mac started tracking interest rates in 1971.
“The size and depth of the secondary mortgage market is helping to keep rates at record lows. These low rates are driving higher refinance activity and have modestly helped improve purchase demand from their extremely low levels in mid-April,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist.
Remember, Freddie Mac’s PMMS report is based on mortgage rates from last week. Last week’s rates are old news and no longer available…although with that said, mortgage rates are still extremely low right now

Mortgage Interest Rates at Historic Lows
September 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Freddie Mac released their weekly mortgage interest rate survey showing that mortgage rates have continued to trend lower.
Tomorrow we have the Jobs Report being released which tends to impact the direction of mortgage rates as it’s an indicator of inflation. Inflation is the “arch enemy” to bonds, like mortgage backed securites, and therefore tends to drive mortgage rates higher. Stay tuned!
Freddie’s PMMS is based on an average of mortgage rates from last week‘s applications for purchases with 20 percent down with excellent credit. Being the rates shared in this report are from last week, they are technically “expired” as mortgage rates change constantly – sometimes several times a day…especially in volatile markets. The PMMS is a great tool for seeing trends and where mortgage rates have been. It’s not a good tool for where rates are “right now”.
If you would like to know where mortgage rates are right now based on your personal scenario for a refi or purchase for homes located anywhere in Washington state, I’m happy to help you!
Big Day with the Fed! [LIVE POST]

It’s been a while since I’ve done a live post. I think today calls for a live post since the FOMC is meeting and it’s highly anticipated they will decide to increase rates. Mortgage rates have been steadily climbing since mid-November following the elections. There are several factors that are influencing the upward move in rates, including what appears to be a better economy along with signs of inflation. [Read more…]
