Current Mortgage Rates: 30 Year Mortgage Rates at 4.94% and 15 Year Mortgage Rates at 4.39%

Longer term conforming mortgage rates headed lower for the week ending December 21, 2009 after two consecutive weeks of higher mortgage rates. 30-year jumbo mortgage rates were down slightly this week over last but are still near the lows for 2009.

Home equity loan rates had the biggest declines in months, probably because banks are more comfortable lending now that the housing market has stabilized in most of the country.

Mortgage rates are expected to head higher in 2010 especially if the economy picks up steam a lot quicker than recently anticipated. Some economists are now expecting fourth quarter GDP to expand by an aggressive 4.5 percent. A couple of quarters' growth in that range along with a drop in the unemployment rate will force the FOMC to raise the Fed Fund's rate.
