DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
Mortgage rates fell again this week, bringing the average rate on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages farther below 5%, according to Freddie Mac's (FRE) weekly survey of mortgage rates.
The decline has been so much that the 30-year fixed rate is on average lower than the one for a one-year adjustable loan. It also happened last week as well, and it is the first time the yield curve has reversed since Freddie began collecting data for adjustable-rate mortgages in 1984.
Mortgage rates have fallen in recent months as providers try to entice buyers amid the housing market downturn and the federal government's plan to purchase hundreds of billions of dollars worth of mortgages. But many consumers are wary of making the commitment to purchase a home - and many prospective buyers face challenges getting financing amid the tight credit market.
But Freddie Mac Vice President and Chief Economist Frank Nothaft said Thursday, "The housing market is showing further signs of possible improvement. House prices rose for the second consecutive month in February, the first back-to-back increase since April 2007," according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.8% for the week ended Thursday, down from last week's 4.82% and 6.03% a year ago. Rates on 15-year fixed-rate loans were 4.48%, unchanged from last week and down from 5.62% a year earlier.
Five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 4.85%, down from 4.88% last week and well below their 5.68% average a year ago. One-year Treasury-indexed ARMs were 4.82%, down from 4.91% and 5.29%, respectively.
To obtain the rates, the fixed-rate mortgages and the five-year ARM required payment of an average 0.7 point and the one-year ARM required an average 0.5 point. A point is 1% of the mortgage amount, charged as prepaid interest.
