Mortgage Rates 7/19: Mortgage Rates are Above Recent Lows

Mortgage rates continue to hover above recent lows set earlier this past week. Mortgage rates dropped over the past several weeks following bond yields lower. Disappointing economic numbers released, including poor housing numbers and employment numbers, drove mortgage rates lower. On Friday a disappointing consumer sentiment survey was released sending bond yields and mortgage rates down further.
