Mortgage rates, whose movements until now had not reflected gains in the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, rose 14 basis points this week, according to Freddie Mac.

It’s more of the same when it comes to mortgage rates entering 2021, as once again they have dropped to lowest point in the 50-year history of Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey.

Mortgage rates rose a basis point this week, ending the year near record lows, according to Freddie Mac.

Fiscal policy concerns, rather than economic data, are driving rate changes right now, economist says

Mortgage rates remained at their lowest level ever this past week, even as 10-year Treasury yields stayed elevated compared to where they were in recent months.

Mortgage rates dropped a basis point this week, reaching the lowest level since Freddie Mac started tracking this data, even though yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury increased 7 basis points.

Weaker consumer spending data coming into the holiday season, as well as a resurgence of the COVID-19 spread, pushed mortgage rates to a new low, Freddie Mac said.

The number of bidding wars increased for the sixth consecutive month, as Salt Lake City remained the most competitive housing market, according to Redfin.

Mortgage rates moved off of their all-time low this week as a result of reports that Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine was potentially 90% effective, according to Freddie Mac.

Mortgage rates are currently the lowest in the history of Freddie Mac’s survey, but sharp differences of opinion persist on whether that will make this a $4-trillion year or not.
