The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.38%, up from last week when it averaged 6.29%.A year ago at this time, it averaged 5.54%.
“Potential homebuyers received welcome news this week as mortgage rates dropped below seven percent for the first time since August,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Given inflation continues to decelerate and the Federal Reserve Board’s current expectations that they will lower the federal funds target rate next year, we likely will see a gradual thawing of the housing market in the new year.”
