Interest Rates Remain Low

In Freddie Mac’s results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.03 percent for the week ending October 29, 2009 – up from the previous week when it averaged 5.00 percent.
      Last year at this time, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.46 percent.
      “Interest rates for 30-year fixed mortgages have averaged just below 5 percent this year, which is the lowest 10-month average since the survey began in 1971,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist.
