Investor's Business Daily - The 30-year fixed rate averaged 5.48% for the week ended Jan. 24, down from 5.69% last week, as the Federal Reserve slashed key lending rates and the housing market weakened further, Freddie Mac said. It was the lowest rate since March 2004. The 15-year fixed rate dived 26 ticks to 4.95%. The 1-year Treasury-tied adjustable rate plunged 27 ticks to 4.99%.

U.S. housing starts and home sales  should fall short of 2004's record pace, but only slightly as  tame inflation helps sustain low long-term mortgage rates in  2005, Freddie Mac FRE.N economists said on Tuesday.  Frank Nothaft, chief economist at the No. 2 U.S. mortgage  underwriter, said housing starts should decline this year by 1  percent to 2 percent while 30-year mortgage rates are seen  increasing by no more than half a percentage point.

Investor's Business Daily - The Mortgage Bankers Association&#39;s applications index rose a seasonally adjusted 1.3% to 622.9 in the week ended Aug. 31, but multiple applications and refilings caused by recent credit problems may have played a role. Activity could slow on higher interest rates. The MBA said a dearth of demand for short-term loans sent 1-year ARM rates to 6.52%, near week-ago levels but well above longer-term rates. Average 30-year mortgages edged up to 6.42% from 6.41%. ARMs made up just 12.6% of applications in the week, down from more than 30% just a few weeks ago.
