Mortgage rates stay at record lows

Rates on 30-year fixed-rate eligible for purchase by Freddie Mac tied a record low this week, averaging 4.78 percent with an average of 0.7 point.

That's down from 4.80 percent last week and 6.06 percent a year ago, Freddie Mac said, and ties an April 7 low in records going back to 1970.

The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.48 percent this week with an average 0.7 point,  unchanged for the third week in a row but down from 5.59 percent a year ago. It's the lowest the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage has been since Freddie Mac began tracking those loans in August, 1991.
