Mortgage rates dip to lowest level since February

August 1, 2024

Mortgage Interest Rates

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.73 percent as of August 1, 2024, down from last week when it averaged 6.78 percent, according to the Primary Mortgage Market Survey® by Freddie Mac. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.90 percent.

“Mortgage rates declined to their lowest level since early February,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Expectations of a Fed rate cut coupled with signs of cooling inflation bode well for the market, but apprehension in consumer confidence may prevent an immediate uptick as affordability challenges remain top of mind. Despite this, a recent moderation in home price growth and increases in housing inventory are a welcoming sign for potential homebuyers.”

The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.99 percent, down from last week when it averaged 6.07 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 6.25 percent.

The PMMS® is focused on mortgage rates for conventional, conforming, fully-amortizing home purchase loans for borrowers who put 20 percent down and have excellent credit. Borrowers may still pay closing costs which are not included in the survey.

TESTIMONIALS

"This is an agent that really knows the local market and market values. We were under contract in 30 days and he was extremely helpful in assisting us through the inspection process that satisfied us and the buyers. We would highly recommend Russ as his realistic estimates didn’t mislead us and brought more than we had expected as a sales price. Showings began immediately and he would follow up with each real estate agent that showed our home. "

"My experience with Russ selling my mom’s house for us was great. I’m in northern Idaho and he dealt with everything for me with out me having to go to Green Valley. I feel he went above and beyond the call of duty. I not only recommend him, I am going to use him to sell mom’s other house. THANKS, Russ."

"A+ service! We listed our house to sell in Sahuarita with Russ. This was a long distance sale as we were out of state when we listed. Most everything was done over the phone and with online e-signing. Russ answered all questions very quickly and followed up with details and items that were needed for the seller at closing. A+ service!"
