Rates hit another all-time low

Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate on 30-year loans fell to 3.56%. That's down from 3.62% last week and the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s.

The average rate on 15-year mortgages, a popular refinancing option, dipped to 2.86%, below last week's previous record of 2.89%.

The rate on 30-year loans has fallen to or matched record lows 11 of the past 12 weeks.

Cheaper mortgages have contributed to a modest housing recovery this year.
