Southern Utah Real Estate Listings, Links and Market Conditions

Now this is what I like to see…mortgage rates continue to fall, a windfall to homeowners eager to refinance mortgages and to those audacious enough to ponder the purchase of a new houses. And, in an unusual development, rates on adjustable rate mortgages exceed those on 30-year fixed-rate loans, according to mortgage giant Freddie Mac.

30-year fixed-rate mortgages fell to 4.78% in the week ended April 30, the lowest since mortgage giant Freddie Mac began tracking the rate in 1971. The comparable rate a year ago averaged 6.03%. The decline, in part, reflects the aggressive moves by the Federal Reserve to push down mortgage rates by buying mortgage-backed securities and lending to Freddie Mac and its sibling Fannie Mae.

Freddie Mac said the fixed rate on 15-year mortgages averaged 4.48%, down from 5.62% a year ago and the lowest level since Freddie Mac began tracking this rate in August 1991.
