Mortgage Rates Fall – Average 30 Year Mortgage Rates Today at 3.74 Percent

Mortgage rates are lower this week, continuing the downtrend for 2015. Average 30 year conforming mortgage rates today are at 3.74 percent, a decline from last week's average of 3.84 percent. Mortgage rates were predicted to move higher in 2015, following 10 year U.S. Treasury yields higher, but just the opposite has happened.

In early March, 10 year bond yields hit a high of 2.25 percent and were set to move even higher on strong economic growth. Since that time, 10 year yields have fallen 40 basis points, to Friday's close of 1.83 percent. The fall in yields accelerated on Friday when a disappointing jobs number for March was released.

Mortgage rates also declined since early March, but not as much as 10 year bond yields. At the beginning of March, average 30 year rates were at 3.94 percent, only 20 basis points higher than the current average rate. The down pressure on bond yields and rates will continue into April if any more weak economic news is released.
