U.S. Mortgage Rates Remain Flat Over Christmas Holiday
2015-12-30
According to Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS), U.S. fixed mortgage rates largely remained unchanged heading into the holiday weekend.
Sean Becketti, chief economist of Freddie Mac said, "Treasury yields dropped slightly as the holidays approach.
Mortgage rates remain largely unchanged, with the 30-year mortgage rate ticking down a basis point to 3.96 percent. As we mentioned last week, long-term interest rates will not spike in response to the Federal funds rate increase. While we expect the 30-year mortgage rate to be above 4 percent in early 2016, we anticipate rates will gradually increase, averaging 4.4 percent for the year."
