Mortgage Rates Today Decline: 30 Year Rates Averaging 3.46 Percent

Current mortgage rates today are lower, after moving higher the past two weeks.  Thankfully, bond yields fell late last week on news House Republicans were voting to raise the debt ceiling for another three months. 10 year bond yields fell 5 basis points to 1.84 percent after touching a high for the week at 1.89 percent on Thursday.

As a result, average mortgage rates moved lower on both conforming loans and jumbo loans. 30 year conventional mortgage rates are averaging 3.46 percent, a decline from yesterday's average 30 year mortgage rate of 3.48 percent. This coming week average 30 year mortgage refinance rates will continue to drop and we will probably see rates move down to 3.40 percent.

You can already find lenders quoting 30 year conforming mortgage rates below the average of 3.48 percent and even below our prediction of 3.40 percent. Depending on the state you live in, you can find lenders quoting 30 year refinance rates as low as 2.875 percent with points on our rate tables. The lowest 30 year refinancing rates without points are around 3.25 percent.
