Mortgage rates have inched downward, with the 30-year fixed rate falling down “by a fraction of a point to 6.96 percent,” Corcoran said, representing the lowest rate in six weeks. The 15-fixed loan rate was 6.21 percent as of Thursday. However, Corcoran believes the minimal drop is not enough to spur major market challenges.  Mortgage rates have inched downward, with the 30-year fixed rate falling down “by a fraction of a point to 6.96 percent,” Corcoran said, representing the lowest rate in six weeks.
