Mortage index rate
By Federal Reserve
Mar 12, 2005
Washington, D.C. -- The Federal Housing Finance Board announced that the final October value of the National Average Contract Mortgage Rate for the Purchase of Previously Occupied Homes by Combined Lenders was 5.64 percent.
This is an increase of 0.01 percent from the September value. Many lenders use this rate in adjusting some adjustable-rate mortgages.
This index was the only index rate that Federally chartered savings and loan associations could use as an adjustable-rate mortgage index in the early 1980s.
For many years, this index was made available by the former Federal Home Loan Bank Board, and later by the Office of Thrift Supervision.
Interested parties can receive up-to-date information on this index value by calling (202) 408-2940. The November index value will be announced on December 28, 2004.
