30 Year Mortgage Rates Back Under 5.00%

30 year mortgage rates are back under 5.00 percent in the latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey released by Freddie Mac this morning. 15 year mortgage interest rates and adjustable mortgage rates were also lower in the latest survey.

Today's mortgage rates are helping the housing market recover from the decline in home prices over the past couple of years. Pending existing home sales have increased for the past 8 months and are at the strongest pace since December 2006.

Current mortgage rates are also contributing to an increase in mortgage refinance activity. The Mortgage Bankers Associations weekly Refinance Index, which measures mortgage refinance applications increased 14.5 percent from the previous week.
