Mortgage Rates: Today’s Mortgage Rates Decline as Bond Yields Plummet: 30 Year Mortgage Rates Remain Below 4.50%

Mortgage rates continue decline following 10 year bond yields lower on a debt deal and a slowing economy. 30 year mortgage rates today are averaging 4.46%, down from Monday's average 30 year mortgage rate of 4.48%. We can expect rates to head even lower since 10 year bond yields plummeted 10 basis points to 2.62% yesterday and are down to 2.61% today. Mortgage rates on 30 year home loans might hit 4.25% sometime this week.
