Mortgage Rates Move Lower, As Expected

As expected, mortgage rates declined the past week due to bond yields moving lower. 10 year bond yields fell to a new low for 2015, falling as low as 1.56 percent last week. During the same time, average 30 year mortgage rates fell to 3.56 percent.

Both bond yields and mortgage rates moved higher since the lows made last week, but we don't expect yields and rates to move much higher from current levels. 30 year mortgage rates today are averaging 3.65 percent and 10 year bond yield are averaging 1.81 percent.

The lowest 30 year refinance rates in our database are 40 basis points lower than the average at 3.25 percent with 2 mortgage points. When you pay points on a loan, you're able to buy down the rate by paying more at closing. 2 points are equal to 2 percent of the loan amount. The lowest 30 year refinance rate without points in our database is still below the average at 3.375 percent.
