Average Mortgage Rates Mixed This Week, Lowest 30 Year Rates Remain Under 4.00 Percent

Average mortgage rates on 30 year loans are slightly higher this week after hitting a new low for 2014. 30 year mortgage rates today are averaging 4.15 percent, up from the previous week's average 30 year rate of 4.08 percent. During the past week, average 30 year rates hit a new low for 2014 at 4.00 percent.

Mortgage rates have been range-bound for most of 2014, hitting a high of 4.53 percent very early this year and a low of 4.00 percent recently. For the remainder of 2014, expect average 30 year rates to be in the range of 3.75 percent and 4.50 percent.  Currently on the rate table, the best 30 year refinance rates are at 3.875 percent with points.

This coming week, average rates will fall as a result of 10 year U.S. Treasury yields going down 10 basis points this morning. Yields are lower due to concerns of a slowing global economy and the possibility that the Eurozone may fall into recession. Safe-haven bids for low-risk U.S. government debt have sent 10 year bond yields to the lowest point since June 2013.
