Average Mortgage Rates Fall to Another Low This Year

Conforming mortgage rates have fallen to another new low this year. Average 30 year conforming mortgage rates are down to 4.16 percent this week, a decline from last week's average 30 year mortgage rate of 4.18 percent. This is the fourth new low for average 30 year rates in 2014. This is the first time in three months that average 15 year jumbo rates are below 4.00 percent.

We might see rates fall even further this year because 10 year bond yields are also near their lowest point this year. 10 year bond yields closed on Friday at 2.54 percent, only 4 basis points from the 2014 low of 2.50 percent. The economic calendar is busy this week and any disappointing news on the economy will send bond yields lower.

The reason rates would move lower on negative news is that the equity markets are at record highs and any disappointing news would send investors fleeing to U.S. Treasuries and thus, send rates lower. Lenders tie mortgage rates to long term bond rates so when bond rates move lower, mortgage rates also move lower.
