Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reports that the average for the 30-year home loan eased to 2.90% from 2.98% last week. The rate for a 15-year loan fell to 2.20% from 2.26%. Freddie Mac economists expect economic growth to gradually push rates higher. The bond market has been signaling concerns that the recovery may have peaked and is now leveling off to a steadier pace.
