National Average Mortgage Rates Higher Today: Declines Likely Tomorrow

Conforming mortgage rates today are higher but will decline tomorrow since 10 year bond yields are down 5 basis points to 1.45 percent. Bond yields are down on a weaker than expected retail sales report released this morning which will send average mortgage rates lower tomorrow.

30 year conforming mortgage rates which made an all-time record low of 3.62 percent last week are slightly higher today averaging 3.65 percent, up from yesterday's average rate of 3.64 percent.

30 year mortgage rates are down over 100 basis points, or 1.00 percent, this past year. If you already refinanced a loan you should really consider doing so again since refinance rates are so low.
