Mortgage rates fell for the second week, <\/span>averaging 3.54 percent, down from 3.60 percent. A year ago at this time, a 30-year, fixed-rate home loan was 4.0 percent<\/span>, according to <\/span>Freddie Mac<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0<\/span>
\nThat’s not far from a historic low. Home loans haven\u2019t been this cheap in three years.<\/span>\"mortgage

\nFed policymakers, who don\u2019t control mortgage rates but can influence their direction, held their own short-term rates steady last week amid worry over a big vote in Europe on Thursday. That’s when Britain goes to the polls to declare whether it wants to stay in the European Union.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>It sounds surreal<\/a>, but a vote on Brexit — short for \u201cBritish exit\u201d from the European Union — actually could affect the housing market here. Bankers, economists and big investors worry that <\/span>Brexit<\/span><\/a> could destabilize the continent and weaken one of our biggest economic and political allies.<\/span>
\nThen there\u2019s the inevitable market volatility — never a good thing — as traders try to figure out what it all means if Britain goes its own way. Uncertainty in financial markets typically makes U.S. mortgages cheaper in the short term. But a vote to exit the union also could trigger <\/span>recession<\/span><\/a> in some countries, which is bad for our overall economy in the long run.<\/span>
\nFor now, mortgages are super cheap and will stay that way. Last week, Fed Chair Janet Yellen and her team<\/span> signalled<\/span><\/a> that they’ll keep their own rates on short-term lending low for longer than they had first anticipated. We\u2019ll get more detail tomorrow when Yellen gives her twice-a-year <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> to Congress.<\/span>
\n“Wednesday’s Fed decision to once again stand pat on rates, as well as growing anticipation of the U.K.’s upcoming European Union referendum, will make it difficult for Treasury yields and — more importantly — mortgage rates to substantially rise in the upcoming weeks,\u201d\u00a0Freddie chief economist Sean Becketti said.<\/span>
