This will likely keep inflation at bay as evidenced by the  1.1 percent growth in core consumer prices for the 12-months ending in  March 2010, which was the lowest annual increase since January 2004.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Low mortgage rates continue to help stabilize the housing  market. The Fed noted that residential activity increased while home  prices were stable across most of its 12 Districts over the six weeks  prior to April 5th. In addition, credit standards remained generally  unchanged across the nation, while credit quality was mixed according to  the report.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mortgage Rates Ease a Bit This Week McLean, VA \u2013 Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) in which the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 5.07 percent with an average 0.6 point for the week ending April 15, 2010, down from last week when it averaged 5.21 percent.
