Mortgage Rates Today Decline: 30 Year Jumbo Mortgage Rates Under 4.00%

The total number of mortgage applications increased 17 percent in this week as mortgage rates hit more record lows, the Mortgage Bankers Association said today. In the MBA's weekly survey 30 year conforming mortgage rates, 30 year jumbo mortgage rates and 30 year FHA mortgage rates all hit record lows in the survey. Fixed conforming 15 year mortgage rates also hit record lows.

As rates decline demand for mortgages increases especially for refinancing loans. In this week's survey the Refinance Index, which measures refinance applications increased 22 percent and made up 80 percent of all mortgage loans. With refinance rates today at record lows millions of homeowners who are in a position to refinance are doing so.

Unfortunately there are millions more homeowners who can't refinance either because they don't have enough equity in their home or they can't meet tougher lending requirements.
