Mortgage Rates Today July 6, 2012

Mortgage rates will head lower this weekend thanks to yet another weak employment report released this morning. The June employment report showed a paltry gain of only 88,000 jobs in June with the unemployment rate remaining unchanged at 8.2 percent.

Current mortgage rates today, July 6, 2012, on 30 year fixed mortgages are averaging 3.67 percent, which is higher than yesterday's average 30 year mortgage rate of 3.66 percent. This uptick in average rates will be short lived since markets are tumbling on the negative jobs report and 10 year bond yields are down 4 basis points to 1.56 percent.

There are 30 year rates below the averages if you're searching for a mortgage to buy a home or refinance a current loan. Right now on our rate tables in the state of Pennsylvania there are many lenders offering 30 year refinance rates at 3.50 percent and below.
