Freddie Mac: Rates Still Near 50 Year Lows

By on September 1, 2011

This morning Freddie Mac released its Primary Mortgage Market Survey for the week of September 1.  Rates were largely unchanged from last week, with the popular 30-year fixed rate staying at 4.22%.  The all-time low of 4.15% was recorded during the week of August 18th.

The average contract rate on a fifteen year fixed rate mortgage fell from 3.44% to 3.39%.  5/1 ARMs fell below 3.00% to 2.96%, while the 1-year ARM declined to 2.89%.

Interest rates are staying low because the Federal Reserve recently promised to maintain ultra-low rates through 2013.  Additionally, bonds have rallied on renewed speculation that the economy could enter into a double-dip recession.

Total Mortgage has some of the best mortgage rates in the industry, consistently beating the national average.  Currently we are offering the 30-year fixed rate mortgage to qualified borrowers at the rate of 4.125% with an APR of 4.279%.  If you are interested in learning more about our rates or products, call us today at 877-868-2503.
