Bond rates and mortgage rates continue to drift lower this week, making this the second consecutive week average mortgage rates moved lower. Conforming 5/1 adjustable mortgage rates today are averaging 3.54 percent, a decline from last week's average 5 year adjustable rate of 3.69 percent.
Both average mortgage rates and 10 year bond yields are lower because of a weak unemployment report released on January 10. Prior to the report, 10 year bond yields were hovering around 3.00 percent but have since moved down to 2.83 percent the past 10 days. Mortgage rates followed suit by moving lower about 20 basis points since the 10th.

The lowest quoted conforming 5 year adjustable rates in our rate table are more than 1.25 basis points below the average rate.

We also have other lenders quoting rates at 2.375 percent with points and the lowest rate without points is at 2.50 percent.
A 2.25 percent interest rate on a mortgage is very enticing but there are risks with adjustable loans, the main risk being that the mortgage rate adjusts after the initial period. On a 5/1 adjustable loan, the mortgage interest rate stays the same for the first 5 years but adjusts every year after. If the interest rate adjusts higher, the monthly mortgage payment increases.
Although current mortgage rates are lower this week over last, rates will be increasing for all of 2014 and 2015. By the end of 2015, 5 year adjustable rates will probably be 1.00 percent to 2.00 percent higher from current levels. Keep this in mind if you are planning on getting an adjustable mortgage loan.
