The average 30-year, fixed mortgage rate tumbled to 3.45 percent this week, according to Freddie Mac's latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®).
 
30-Year Fixed

• Averaging 3.45 percent, with an average 0.7 point
• Down from 3.51 percent the prior week and 4.41 percent the prior year 

15-Year Fixed

• Averaging 2.97 percent, with an average 0.7 point

"As rates fell for the third consecutive week, markets staged a rebound with increases in manufacturing and service sector activity," said Sam Khater, chief economist at Freddie Mac, in a statement. "The combination of very low mortgage rates, a strong economy and more positive financial market sentiment all point to home-purchase demand continuing to rise over the next few months."
