Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage- bond prepayments slowed last month more than some analysts projected, as a wave of buyouts of loans from the debt failed to materialize and refinancing was limited amid record low rates.

The analysts had expected the rate, which represents the share of the debt that would be retired in a year at the current pace, to decline to 16 to 17.
