“Despite the slight rise, purchasers are reacting positively to interest levels within this spectrum, with sales of previously owned residences growing 1.7% in February,” stated Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s head economist. “Requests to buy also expanded this week, a positive indication as purchasers approach the spring property acquisition period with interest levels lower by over half a percentage point relative to the corresponding period a year ago.”
The typical interest for a fifteen-year fixed home loan climbed to 5.5% from the prior week’s figure of 5.43%.
