"Given the recent volatility of the 10-year Treasury yield, it's not surprising that mortgage rates again have dropped," said Sam Khater, chief economist at Freddie Mac, in a statement. "These low rates combined with high consumer confidence continue to drive home sales upward, a trend that is likely to endure as we enter spring."
