Nashville Rates Drop Again, Slightly This Time

Freddie Mac reported a modest decline in mortgage rates during the week ended Aug. 2, with the 30-year fixed rate falling to a one-month low of 6.68% from 6.69%. Interest on 15-year fixed loans, meanwhile, dropped to 6.32% from 6.37%.

The five-year adjustable mortgage rate slipped to 6.29% from 6.30%, and the one-year ARM slid to 5.59% from 5.69%. Freddie Mac chief economist Frank Nothaft attributes the decrease in borrowing costs to an increase in investors snapping up Treasury securities as they move away from mortgage-backed bonds.
