Mortgage rates set record low for 13th time in 2020

It's the 13th time a record low has been set this year. "Weaker consumer spending data, which accounts for the majority of economic growth, drove mortgage rates to a new record low,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “While economic growth remains unstable, strong housing demand continues to have a domino effect on many other segments of the economy.” Learn more here.
