Mortgage rates were down again in the latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey published by Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC).

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.09% as of Sept. 19, down from last week when it averaged 6.20%. A year ago at this time, it averaged 7.19%.

The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.15%, down from last week when it averaged 5.27%. A year ago at this time, it averaged 6.54%.

“Mortgage rates continued declining towards the six percent mark, reviving purchase and refinance demand for many consumers,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “While mortgage rates do not directly follow moves by the Federal Reserve, this first cut in over four years will have an impact on the housing market. Declining mortgage rates over the last several weeks indicate this cut was mostly baked in, but we expect rates to fall further, sparking more housing activity.”
