Mortgage Rates Fall Again This Week – Best 30 Year Rate at 3.375%

Mortgage rates are lower again this week, continuing to defy the experts who called for higher rates in 2015. Average 30 year mortgage rates fell to 3.79 percent, down one basis point from last week's average rate. While average 30 year rates are at 3.79 percent, there are many lenders quoting rates well below the average.

The lowest 30 year refinance rate in our database this week is at 3.375 percent. Depending on the state you live in, lenders are quoting a rate of 3.375 percent with 1.10 points or 2 points. The lowest 30 year refinance rate without points is also below the average at 3.625 percent.

Lenders offer loans with points to borrowers so they can get a lower rate. The more points you pay, the lower the mortgage rate is. Most lenders offer a maximum of 2 points on a loan. A point is equal to one percent of the loan. For example, one point on a $300,000 loan will require the borrower to pay an additional $3,000 upfront to receive a lower rate.
