"Following June's jobs report, which showed a cooling labor market, the 10-year Treasury yield decreased this week and mortgage rates followed suit," said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac's Chief Economist. "We're also seeing more inventory on the market, including a fair number of listings with price cuts, which is an encouraging sign for prospective buyers."
