WASHINGTON – Mortgage rates fell this week to the lowest level on record, giving consumers added incentive to lock in low payments on home purchases and refinancings.
Mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for 30-year fixed loans sank to 4.69 percent, from 4.75 percent last week.
That's the lowest since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971. The previous record of 4.71 percent was set in December. Rates for 15-year and five-year mortgages also hit lows.
Mortgage rates have fallen over the past two months. Investors wary of the European debt crisis and the turbulent stock market have shifted money into the safety of Treasury bonds, driving down yields. Mortgage rates tend to track the yields on long-term Treasury debt.
Freddie Mac collects mortgage rates on Monday through Wednesday of each week from lenders around the country. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a given day.
Rates on 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages fell to an average of 4.13 percent, the lowest on records dating to September 1991 and down from 4.2 percent a week earlier.
Rates on five-year, adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 3.84 percent, down from 3.89 percent a week earlier. That was also the lowest on Freddie Mac's records, which only date back to January 2005.
Average rates on one-year, adjustable-rate mortgages fell to 3.77 percent from 3.82 percent. That was the lowest average since May 2004.
The rates do not include add-on fees known as points. One point is equal to 1 percent of the total loan amount.
The nationwide fee for loans in Freddie Mac's survey averaged 0.7 a point for 30-year, 5-year and 1-year loans. The average fee for 15-year loans was 0.6 of a point.
Looking for a place to get fresh produce and great tunes?
The North Bend Farmers Market and Summer Concert series begins June 17, and runs every Thursday through Aug. 26. The events are organized and hosted by the Si View Metropolitan Parks District.
Over the winter, Si View Park underwent a face lift. The parks district added a paved parking lot with 71 stalls, sidewalks, outdoor benches, water fountains and new lighting.
The market and concert stage will be located in the new parking lot and surrounding grass fields.
More than a dozen vendors will be offering locally grown produce, often picked the same day.
“You can taste the difference,” said Minna Rudd, the parks district’s communications director.
Reusable shopping bags will be on sale for $2 throughout the season.
Shopping at the market also gives consumers the opportunity to ask farmers questions about how the produce was grown, Rudd said.
The market and concert series aren’t just events for the community; they’re events organized by the community.
The parks district depends on a small army of volunteers to put on the two series.
“It takes many hands to set up and take down for these weekly events, greeting customers, conduct customer surveys, provide vendor support and more,” Rudd said.

Those living in downtown Snoqualmie may be interested to know that an interconnecting road between Snoqualmie Ridge and town is being proposed.
This action would renege on a previous condition which was made when the huge subdivision was first being proposed. It was agreed that the large volume of traffic generated would be best handled by Snoqualmie Ridge Parkway connecting with the State Highway 202 and State Highway 18.
This decision was also based in honoring Snoqualmie's rural character and having less impact on downtown citizens. The city council needs to hear from the people downtown on how this will impact you.
The city council also needs to consider any possible conflicts of interest by any members of the planning commission in regard to land holdings in the so called “Snoqualmie Hills Planning Area”— a term some of us resent!
Public hearings are 7 p.m. June 14 and 18 in City Hall.

I love real estate and believe it should be a part of everyone's overall financial picture. There's a lot of layers to real estate and having someone you can trust is very important to ensuring they have your best interest and that they can work through the many twists and turns that arise during a transaction.
