- Mortgage rates are falling sharply, as investors head to the relative safe haven of the bond market. Mortgage rates follow loosely the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury.
- The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed has fallen 19 basis points in the past week, from 4.94 percent to 4.75 percent on Thursday, according to Mortgage News Daily.
- The drop comes after the 30-year fixed hit a recent eight-year high of 5.05 percent at the start of November.
