According to Freddie Mac, the mortgage giant, the average rate for 30-year fixed loans declined 4.42% from last week's 4.44%, the lowest since the mortgage buyer began tracking rates in 1971. Freddie Mac also reported that the average rate for 15-year fixed loans declined to 3.9% from last week's 3.92%, which is the lowest rate since 1991. For the full story, go to Chicago Sun-Times.
