One year U.S. Treasury indexed adjustable mortgage rates were slightly lower at 4.24 percent, down from last week's average mortgage loan rate of 4.25 percent. Discount points averaged 0.7 points.

Frank Nothaft had the following comments:

“Following an upbeat employment report, long-term bond yields rose slightly and fixed mortgage rates followed. The economy shed only 11,000 jobs in November, far fewer than the market consensus forecast, and the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 10 percent.  In addition, revisions added 159,000 jobs to September and October."

“Notwithstanding, rates on 30-year fixed mortgages are almost 0.7 percentage points below those at the same time last year.  This translates into an $81 lower monthly payment on a $200,000 conventional mortgage.”
