"Fixed mortgage rates eased further leading up to the Federal Reserve's (Fed) October 30th monetary policy . The Fed saw improvement in economic activity and labor market conditions since it began its asset purchase program, but noted the recovery in the housing market slowed somewhat in recent months and unemployment remains elevated. As a result, there was no policy change which should help sustain low mortgage rates in the near future."
