  Mortgage rates still falling, rising home prices offset savings  
 

Realtor.com article stress that lower interest rates induce more competition into mark, driving up prices

Mortgage rates are still near record lows, but that isn't making owning a home cheaper for home buyers any longer. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 2.91% for the week ending Aug. 27, dropping eight basis points from the week prior, Freddie Mac reported last Thursday.

The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage also fell eight basis points to an average of 2.46%.
