The rate is now 3.66 percent down from 3.71 percent last week. The average rate on 15-year fixed mortgages is 2.95 percent, nearly matching the record-low rate of 2.94 percent from two weeks ago.
Chad Wandler, a spokesman for Freddie Mac, says, “The Fed’s extending Operation Twist means we are in for very low mortgage rates for a while to come, so for people who are looking to buy or refinance this is great news.”
