Mortgage rates forecast

The Mortgage Bankers Association's forecast anticipates tremendous coronavirus stimulus-related debt coming on to the market.

The economic contraction will keep mortgage rates low for the foreseeable future.

Mortgage rates remained generally steady this past week, even with the continuing market volatility, and that is helping the purchase market, according to Freddie Mac.

Mortgage rates ticked up slightly this week, but whether consumers are able to take advantage of them for purchases and refinancings depends on who looks at the data.

Mortgage rates fell to their lowest level since Freddie Mac started reporting this data in 1971, as the coronavirus shutdown continued to play havoc with the economy.

Mortgage rates were little changed this week as the markets reacted positively to various economic measures coming out of Washington, according to Freddie Mac.

Mortgage rates slipped this week as the coronavirus keeps affecting the overall U.S. economy, according to Freddie Mac.

Mortgage rates remained flat from last week, but are expected to fall further as they continue to lag changes in 10-year Treasury yields, according to Freddie Mac.

Mortgage rates dropped for the second consecutive week, falling 17 basis points, but that is not attracting homebuyers back into an uncertain market, according to Freddie Mac.

The actions taken by the Federal Reserve to calm the financial markets was key to the drop in mortgage rates this week, according to Freddie Mac.
