The growing popularity of the company’s websites and apps has earned the company record profits during the fourth quarter, with adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $170 million, according to a statement on Wednesday.

Whether or not the cost of home loans go up may hinge on the labor market recovery, and right now bond yields suggest they are heading in one particular direction long term.

Investors were also reacting to the inauguration of Joe Biden and uncertainty over additional fiscal relief, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist Sam Khater said.

After last week’s spike, mortgage rates dropped back to near historic lows, as broader worries about the pandemic and the economy came back to the fore for investors.

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.

Mortgage rates remained relatively flat this week, helping housing to stay as one of the bright spots in the U.S. economy during the current uncertainty, according to Freddie Mac.

U.S. home prices rose the most in two years in August as low mortgage rates spurred competition for an increasingly scarce supply of listings.

Mortgage rates fell this week to another record low, and are now over a full percentage point below where they were five years ago, according to Freddie Mac.

The number of bidding wars increased for the fifth straight month, with Salt Lake City posting the highest rate of competitive listings in two years, according to Redfin.

Just a week after commenting that the bottom on mortgage rates was possibly reached, Freddie Mac reported that they fell 6 basis points to another record low.

Mortgage rates remained flat this week, a sign that the bottom has possibly been reached, but the housing market looks to remain strong for the near future, according to Freddie Mac.
