Mortgage Rates Today Mixed, Fixed Conforming Rates Sightly Higher

Average mortgage rates today are mixed with fixed conforming 30 year rates and 15 year rates moving slightly higher. Fixed conforming 30 year mortgage rates which hit a record low of 3.39 percent last week are now averaging 3.44 percent. Average rates are higher this week but the uptrend won't last since the Fed is purchasing mortgage backed securities to force rates lower.

Current mortgage rates on 15 year fixed conventional loans are also higher averaging 2.83 percent. The average 15 year mortgage rate is only 1 basis point higher from last week's record low of 2.82 percent. 15 year mortgage interest rates will be moving lower this week and might possibly break through 2.75 percent. You can already find lenders offering 15 year rates below 2.75 percent.

Depending on the state you live in you can find many different lenders offering rates below 2.75 percent with and without mortgage discount points. If you live in Florida we have one lender offering 15 year refinance rates at 2.50 percent with 0.75 mortgage points. On our Nevada 15 year refinance rates list there are lenders offering rates at 2.50 percent with 2 points.
