Mortgage rates in the United States have been decreasing for the second consecutive week, capturing the attention of potential homebuyers. According to a statement from Freddie Mac, the average rate for 30-year fixed mortgages is now 6.64%, representing a slight decrease from 6.65% the previous week. At first glance, this may seem like a minor shift, but in the context of high home prices and economic volatility, even a small change can have significant implications.
