Even with the increase of home mortgage rates over the past few weeks, rates are still low if you compare mortgage rates with historical average rates. I remember when have a rate of over 10 percent was the norm. Today's mortgage rates are still very low which is making a home mortgage refinance attractive to many people who have equity in their homes to refinance.

Adjustable rate mortgages have also come down this past week, averaged 4.97 percent this week, with an average 0.6 point, down from last week's average rate of 5.17 percent. Average rates on one year adjustable rate mortgages have also come down to 4.95 percent this week , down from last week when it averaged 5.04 percent with an average 0.6 point.
