Mortgage rates lowest in decades

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates are at their lowest level in half-century.

Freddie Mac today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey in which the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 4.56 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending July 22, 2010, down from last week when it averaged 4.57 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 5.20 percent.

The decline in mortgage rates over the past few weeks echoes the recent signs of weakening confidence in the strength of the national economy. Fortunately, things are faring much better for the Marin housing market. Marin home prices have stabilized for the most part, and buyers are taking advantage of all-time record low rates.
