This Week’s Mortgage Rates

Mortgage rates are holding at a new record low, as indicated by Bankrate.com‘s weekly national survey. While mortgage rates for 15-year fixed mortgage, average 1-year ARM, and 5-year ARM have slipped under 5% in past weeks, the average conforming 30-year mortgage rate has fallen to a record 5.00% this week. It’s still prime time for new home buyers with great rates for many mortgage options.

Bankrate’s recent survey results:

  • 30-year fixed: 5.00% — down from 5.06% last week (avg. points: 0.44)
  • 15-year fixed: 4.47% — down from 4.48% last week (avg. points: 0.29)
  • 5/1 ARM: 4.54% — down from 4.58% last week (avg. points: 0.33)
