Today brought another round of all-time low mortgage rates with no end in sight to the declines. Both mortgage rates and refinance rates today are at record lows after hitting record lows the previous week. Current mortgage rates today on 30 year mortgages are averaging 3.71 percent, down from yesterday’s average 30 year mortgage rate of 3.74 percent.
I just refinance my loan about 14 months ago, the interest rate on a 30 year loan I refinanced at was 5.15 percent. Now that 30 year rates are below 4.00 percent I’m thinking of refinancing again. I used a mortgage calculator and figured out with my loan amount if I get a refinance rate at 3.75 percent I can save $567.33 a month on my payments. Over the life of the loan my savings are over $100,000!
30 year rates made new lows the past 3 weeks but 15 year mortgage rates today are also at record lows and made record lows the past 6 weeks. Current 15 year mortgage interest rates are averaging 2.86 percent, down from yesterday’s average 15 year mortgage rate of 2.91 percent. Just last week 15 year mortgage rates broke 3.00 percent.
Today’s mortgage rates on adjustable home loans are also very low. Current interest rates on conforming 5 year mortgages are averaging 2.89 percent, down from yesterday’s average 5 year rate of 2.94 percent. 1 year rates are even lower today averaging 2.71 percent, a decline from yesterday’s average 1 year adjustable rate of 2.73 percent.
