Fixed mortgage rates continued to hover at near-record lows this past week, Freddie Mac reported Nov. 8 in its weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey.

The 30-year fixed-rate rose 0.01 percentage points to 3.40 percent (down from 3.99 percent a year ago). The 15-year fixed-rate dropped 0.01 percent to 2.70 percent (down from 3.30 percent a year ago).

The one-year adjustable-rate mortgage increased slightly this week, up 0.01 percentage point to 2.59 percent (down from 2.88 percent a year ago). The five-year Treasury-indexed adjustable-rate decreased 0.01 percent to 2.73 percent (down from 2.98 percent a year ago).

“Mortgage rates remained near record lows following the employment report for October,” Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist, said in a news release. “The economy added 171,000 jobs, above the market consensus forecast, and the two prior months were revised up a combined 84,000. The Labor Department also reported that the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9 percent and that average hourly wages were unchanged.”
