 Freddie Mac(OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey^® (PMMS^®), showing that after declining for most of the year, mortgage rates remained mostly unchanged this week.

Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, says, “While rates have moderated, we’re still at nearly three-year lows, which is good news for buyers looking to purchase a home before school starts.”

“The recent stabilization in mortgage rates reflects modestly improving U.S. economic data and a more accommodative tone from the Federal Reserve to respond to the rising downside economic risk from trade tensions and soft global economic data.
