Record-Breaking Lows: Mortgage Rates Charting New Territory

Mortgage interest rates have remained steady at lows not seen in 40 years, with 30-year fixed rate average 3.87%. The 15-year fixed rate, while moving slightly higher last week, remained close to the record-breaking 3.14% set at the beginning of the month. These historically low rates present an amazing opportunity for home buyers and for homeowners looking to refinance. For example, on a $200,000, 30-year loan a borrower would save nearly $48,000 ($47,940) on a 3.875% loan during the loan period compared to a 5% fixed mortgage. Be sure to check with your mortgage professional for the most current information and for assistance in determining what is best for your personal situation.
