Mortgage Rates Down 5 Straight Weeks and Counting


Many analysts predict this week's Mortgage Rates Survey by Freddie Mac will show 30 year fixed mortgage rates averaging under 5 percent Monday through Wednesday. The 10 year treasury yield, the best indicator for current mortgage rates, has descended 5 straight weeks touching a 2 month low Friday afternoon.

Bond auctions continue to draw strong demand driving down mortgage rates. TALF, a program created by the Fed to purchase Residential Mortgage Backed Securities and keep interest rates low continues through December.
