(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 6.85 percent.
“Mortgage rates increased for the second straight week, rebounding after a decline from earlier this month,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's Chief Economist.“While a slight improvement in new and existing home sales is encouraging, the market remains plagued by an overwhelming undersupply of homes . A strong Economy can help build momentum heading into the new year and potentially boost purchase activity.”
