Mortgage Rates Easing As We Head Into the Holiday Weekend

Mortgage rates headed lower as we move into the Labor Day weekend reversing an uptrend of the past four weeks. In Freddie Mac's most recent Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) fixed conforming 30 year mortgage rates averaged 3.59 percent with 0.6 mortgage discount point for the week ending August 30, 2012, a decline from last week's average 30 year conforming mortgage rate of 3.66 percent.
