## Freddie Mac Weekly Average Values

Housing loan interest percentages are established by an intricate combination of financial and trading elements, including:
* The general condition and trajectory of the debt market, emphasizing the return on 10-year Treasury securities.
* The Federal Reserve’s existing financial strategy, encompassing its activities concerning the acquisition of bonds and backing government-guaranteed mortgages.
* The degree of rivalry among diverse mortgage providers and the various kinds of loans they provide.
The interest rates are remaining constant, and the monetary authority is not expected to reduce them further in the upcoming period. During its gathering on December 18th, the Federal Reserve presented its quarterly interest rate forecasts, implying that central bank representatives foresaw merely two 0.25% rate reductions for the forthcoming year. Considering eight rate-determination sessions each year, this implies we might observe numerous declarations of unaltered rates throughout 2025.
