Best Mortgage Rates in December 2018

Best Mortgage Rates in December 2018The best mortgage rates in December 2018 just keep getting better as mortgage rates decline. The best mortgage rates at the beginning of December for 30 year conforming loans were around 4.80 percent. By the end of the 1st week in December, the best mortgage rates declined to around the 4.63 percent range. Right now the best mortgage rate is even lower at 4.55 percent. Mortgage rates in December declined because bond yields were moving lower all month long. We don't expect current mortgage rates will move much lower this month so you should lock in a rate today. You can compare current December mortgage rates to get the lowest possible rate.
