Mortgage rates in the U.S. have hit another record low.
The average for a 30-year, fixed loan tumbled to 2.72%, down from 2.84% last week and the lowest in data going back almost 50 years, Freddie Mac said in a statement Thursday. It was the 13th record low this year. The previous one, 2.78%, held for two weeks.
