The average long-term US mortgage rate fell for the third straight week, offering some relief to prospective home buyers facing higher home prices.
The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in the US declined to 7.18 per cent from 7.24 per cent last week, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said on Thursday. One year ago, the average rate was 6.22 per cent.
Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, often sought by borrowers refinancing a home loan, also fell again this week. That average rate dipped to 6.57 per cent from 6.60 per cent last week. A year ago, it was at 5.50 per cent.
