Data released by the Federal Housing Finance Agency show that there was a very small decline in interest rates on mortgages for new homes, the NAHB reports.
The average contract rate on conventional loans to buy a new single-family home went down two basis points from 4.00 to 3.98 percent.
Interest rates remained stable as loan sizes surged. The average size of a conventional mortgage to purchase a new home was $358,200 in September, compared to the previous high of $352,500 in June.
