Fixed mortgage rates have maintained recent lows or set new ones for more than two months now, sinking to 4.42 percent on 30-year loans for the week ended Aug. 19. The rate is down from 4.44 percent last week and is the lowest ever recorded since Freddie Mac launched its survey almost 40 years ago. The fixed 15-year average also hit a new low, at 3.9 percent; while five- and one-year adjustable-rate mortgages remained flat at 3.56 percent and 3.53 percent, respectively.
