Mortgage rates average 3.11% | Mt Kisco Real Estate

 Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS), showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.11 percent.

ā€œMortgage rates continue to remain stable notwithstanding volatility in the financial markets,ā€ said Sam Khater, Freddie Macā€™s Chief Economist. ā€œThe consistency of rates in the face of changes in the economy is primarily due to the evolution of the pandemic, which lingers and continues to pose uncertainty. This low mortgage rate environment offers favorable conditions for refinancing.ā€
