Mortgage rates fell slightly this week but are still hovering around 7%, remaining uncomfortably high for many would-be buyers.
Freddie Mac’s latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey, released Wednesday, showed that the average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage ticked down to 6.89% this week from 6.95% last week. The average rate on a 30-year loan was 6.96% a year ago.
