Interest Rates hit near 40 Year Lows - Tacoma Real Estate
Interest Rates have been a major factor in fueling the Real Estate market. Read through this brief report offered by Keller Williams International.
-----------------------
According to Freddie Mac, 30-year-fixed-rate mortgage average fell further to 4.87 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending Oct. 8 from 4.94 percent last week. "Such low rates are spurring mortgage demand," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, in a statement.
"Interest rates for 30-year fixed-rate loans were the lowest since mid-May; 15-year FRMs were at a record low since data were first collected in 1991 and 5-year ARMs also hit an all-time record starting in 2005. Compared to a year ago, consumers could shave almost $134 off their monthly mortgage payments on a 30-year fixed-rate loan for $200,000 by refinancing.
In addition to spurring mortgage demand, applications were up to a 19-week high over the week ending in Oct. 2, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association - applications to purchase a home were at the strongest pace since the beginning of 2009.
