From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Unchanged to Start the Week

Mortgage rates held their ground today, keeping them in line with long-term lows achieved over the past 2 weeks. To be fair, it was the previous week that offered the biggest benefits, but last week was no slouch. Factoring out the first few days of January, it would have been the best week for mortgage rates since April 2018. [30YR FIXED - 4.5%]
