A Note on Interest Rates Happy October! I came across this article on interest rates and wanted to share it. According to CNN, the interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate loan fell to 3.94% this week, the lowest rate since Freddie Mac began tracking it. Meanwhile, the average for a 15-year fixed-rate mortgage also hit a record, falling to 3.26%. This results in substantial savings for homeowners. Compared with just three months ago, when the 30-year was at 4.60%, borrowers today can save about $40 a month per $100,000 borrowed. That comes to a savings of nearly $14,000 for every $100,000 (0 comments)
