Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist at Freddie Mac had the following comments about this week's report:

Mortgage rates were virtually unchanged this week hovering at or near record lows and should further help to support a recovering housing market. Both the S&P/Case Shiller® 20-city composite and the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s house price indexes showed over a 0.5 percent monthly increase in April. Meanwhile, pending existing home sales rebounded in May by 5.9 percent to match a two year high and new home sales jumped 7.6 percent to its fastest pace since April 2010.

Mortgage rates and refinance rates have made a series of new lows in 2012. The future direction of rates will depend on the economy. Recent economic data released points to a slowdown in the U.S. economy. This will keep a cap on rates moving higher but don't expect rates to fall much further unless the economy contacts.

30 year conforming mortgage rates today are averaging 3.63 percent on our rate tables. This average rate on our table is down from last week's average of 3.64 percent. 30 year jumbo mortgage rates are averaging 4.26 percent today which is also down 1 basis point from last week's average rate.
