'Over the past month, the 30-year fixed rate has stabilized, making only minor moves in either direction,' said Sam Khater, chief economist at Freddie Mac. 'This stability is due to confidence, and borrowers are responding to it with increased purchase demand, which is at the highest growth rate since the end of last year.'
