Like in 2006, 2007 and 2008, Autumn 2009 is marked by falling leaves and falling mortgage rates.The trend looks more like a pattern.Based on Freddie Mac data of the last 4 years, 30-year fixed mortgage rates rise from January through August, and fall through fall. There's 6 weeks left until January. The clock may be ticking for today's home buyers and rate shoppers.
If history is an indicator, mortgage rates should ease a bit into 2010. Data from Freddie Mac since 2006 shows that 30-year fixed mortgage rates tend to rise during the summer months, and fall through the fall. So far, 2009 is staying true to form.
