Mortgage Rates Fall Yet Again: 30 Year Mortgage Rates at 4.60%, 15 Year Mortgage Rates at 3.95%

Mortgage rates fell again this week over last week. The current national average 30 year mortgage rate is at 4.60 percent. 30 year mortgage rates in the state of California are even lower. The current average 30 year mortgage rate for California is 4.58 percent. Mortgage rates are following bond yields lower. This past Friday, 10 year Treasury yields tumbled to 2.82 percent on news the economy continues to shed jobs.

For the second consecutive month the U.S. economy lost jobs because job gains from private employment couldn't offset the losses from government census workers who were let go. The U.S. Department of Labor released July employment numbers showing a loss of 131,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 9.5 percent. Private sector employment increased by 71,000 jobs which was less than analysts expected.

The economy appears to be losing steam which is driving interest rates and mortgage rates to historic lows. It is hard to imagine mortgage rates will go much lower but we all thought rates couldn't go much lower and they have the past couple of months.
