Average Mortgage Rates Hold Steady: 30 Year Mortgage Rates at 3.55%

There were no big moves in average mortgage rates in this week's mortgage rate survey released by Freddie Mac. Bond yields remained steady this week as investors await the Federal Reserve's decision on more stimulus. Recent weak economic data has a majority of economists believing more quantitative easing is on the way very soon.

Average mortgage rates on 30 year conforming loans remained unchanged at 3.55 percent with 0.6 mortgage points for the week ending September 12, 2012, the same as last week's average 30 year mortgage rate. Mortgage rates today in Bankrate's national average for 30 year loans are averaging 3.57 percent, up from last week's average 30 year mortgage rate of 3.51 percent.

You can find conforming 30 year mortgage rates below the average rates. Currently on our 30 year refinance rates list for the state of Florida there are a couple of lenders offering 30 year refinance rates at 3.125 percent with points. Without points you can find 30 year mortgage refinance rates at 3.25 percent and 3.375 percent.
