MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Freddie Mac (OTCQB:FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.68 percent.

"This week the economy sent mixed signals, leaving mortgage rates unchanged," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's Chief Economist. "Survey data for manufacturing and service industries varied while construction spending fell modestly. However, homebuyer demand continued to improve, rising eight percent. Clearly homebuyers remain bullish on the real estate market."
