Mortgage Rates: Fixed Mortgage Rates Stable as Fed to Lower Rates

Mortgage rates are stable today but will be heading lower thanks to the Fed. Fixed mortgage rates on 30 year conforming mortgage loans are averaging 4.17%, down from yesterday’s average 30 year mortgage rate of 4.23%. Mortgage rates on 15 year conforming mortgage loans are averaging 3.36%, down from yesterday’s average 15 year mortgage rate of 3.38%. Interest rates will be heading lower thanks to the Fed's latest decision to lower rates by selling shorter term bonds and buying longer term bonds, AKA "operation twist".
