After five weeks of declines, mortgage rates are at their lowest levels in 16 months.
According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average tumbled to 3.99 percent with an average 0.5 point.

The 30-year fixed rate moved below 4 percent for the first time since January 2018.
