The 15-year fixed-mortgage averaged 2.42% with an average 0.7 point, up from last week when it averaged 2.39%. A year ago, at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 2.28%.
In a statement prepared for the release of this week’s PMMS report, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist, Sam Khater said, “Despite the noise around the economy, inflation, and monetary policy, mortgage rate volatility has been low. For most of 2021, mortgage rates have stayed within half a percentage point, which is a smaller range than in past years.”
