Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist said "Although long-term mortgage rates eased slightly this week, ARM rates remain elevated relative to those fixed-rate mortgages. For instance, interest rates for 1-year ARMs exceeded those for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages over the last two weeks, this is the first time this has happened since Freddie Mac began collecting data for ARMs in January 1984."
