Mortgage Rates: Current Mortgage Rates October 27, 2009

weeklymortgagerates3Current mortgage rates are mixed this week, 30-year conforming fixed mortgage rates are down and 30-year jumbo mortgage rates are higher this week over last.

Today's conforming fixed 15-year mortgage interest rates are down and 15 year jumbo home mortgage rates are  higher. 10-year Treasury yields are back above 3.50 percent as of Monday morning, contributing to the slight rise in jumbo rate mortgages and shorter term adjustable rate mortgages. Higher Treasury yields will mean higher mortgage interest rates this coming week.
