Mortgage Rates Ease



This past week, mortgage rates have declined “as fears about the economic impacts of turmoil in the Middle East helped depress yields on long-term bonds, including those that fund most home loans,” according to Inman News and a survey by Freddie Mac.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.95%, down from last week’s 5% and 5.05% a year before.
Rates on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages were 4.22%, below last week’s 4.27% and the year-earlier average of 4.4%, as well.

After a spike in rates that hadn’t been so high since last April, this is  promising for a downward trend in mortgage rates despite mixed overall economic reports.

These loans are a type of loan in which you promise to repay the lender with interest on a specific amount of money that they give you, typically a down payment of some sort and a term or time period during which you must repay the monies.
