Slowing Housing Market Keeps Interest Rates Down
Thursday, February 22, 2007
Freddiemac.com has released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey. The 30-year FRM averaged 6.22 percent for the week ending February 22, 2007, down from last week's average 6.30 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.26 percent.
"Mortgage rates eased a little more this week, as market participants were concerned over how much drag the slowing housing market may have on economic growth," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist.
