Mortgage Rates Today: Lowest 15 Year Conforming Rates at 2.75 Percent

Even with the increase in interest rates since this summer, mortgage rates today are still very low, historically speaking. Rates are still low right now but will be moving higher in 2014 so if you're thinking about buying a home you should lock in a rate today. Likewise, if you have been thinking about refinancing now is the time before rates move higher.

Home prices have been rising across the United States and if your home's value has increased you might have enough equity to refinance. If you have tried refinancing in the past but couldn't because you didn't have enough equity, you should look into it again. There is also a government program called Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) available to help you refinance. Visit this Federal Government website to see if you qualify for a HARP refinance: HARP
