Freddie Mac's weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey -- released November 15 -- shows fixed mortgage rates at new all-time record lows amid indicators of higher consumer confidence and lower wholesale prices.
- 30-Year fixed rate mortgage averaged 3.34%, up from 3.40% last week and 4.00% one year ago
- 15-Year fixed rate mortgage averaged 2.65%, down from 2.69% last week and 3.31% one year ago
Average commitment rates should be reported along with average fees and points to reflect the total upfront cost of obtaining the mortgage. Borrowers may still pay closing costs which are not included in the survey.
To compare and track average mortgage rates from previous weeks throughout the year consult Freddie Mac's Compilation of Weekly Survey Data for 2012.
