Just when you thought it was the best time to go ahead and pull the trigger to refinance your loan mortgage rates today make new lows. I just refinanced my mortgage loan back in March of this year and got a 15 year mortgage rate of 3.50 percent, now there are lenders offering current mortgage rates on 15 year loans as low as 2.25 percent with points, which is much lower than Freddie Mac’s average 15 year conforming mortgage rate in the most recent Primary Mortgage Market Survey (MMS).

In Freddie Mac’s mortgage rate survey for the week that ended on October 11, 2012, average 30 year mortgage rates were at 3.39 percent with  0.7 mortgage points, which is actually higher than the prior week’s average 30 year mortgage interest rate of 3.36 percent. In the prior week’s survey average 30 year mortgage interest rates hit a record low. There has been so many record lows sent on both conforming mortgage rates and jumbo mortgage rates it is hard to keep track.

Today’s mortgage rates on 30 year conventional home loans are lower and make a new record low. Current mortgage rates today on 30 year conventional home loans are averaging 3.35 percent. There are also lenders already offering 30 year mortgage rates today below the averages. On our mortgage refinance rates list for the state of California we have many lenders offering 30 year refinance rates on conforming loans at 3.125 percent with points without points you can find 30 year refinancing rates as low as 3.375 percent.

Average 15 year mortgage rates for the week ending October 11, 2012, were also slightly higher averaging 2.70 percent with 0.6 mortgage discount points. The average 15 year conforming mortgage rate was also higher from last week’s average of 2.69 percent. Mortgage rates current on 15 year conforming loans also just make another record low today averaging 2.64 percent. We will probably see 15 year mortgage rates falling as low as 2.25 percent on average before the year is over.

Speaking of mortgage rates as low as 2.25 percent on 15 year conforming loans you can already find lenders offering rates so low. First Internet Bank is offering 15 year refinance rates as low as 2.25 percent with just over 1 mortgage point. We also have lenders listed right here offering 15 year mortgage rates in the 2.25 percent range with a point or two. We also have lenders offering 15 year refi mortgage rates today without points at 2.625 percent.

Adjustable mortgage rates current were also higher for the week that ended on October 11, 2012. Average 5 year adjustable mortgage rates today are at 2.73 percent with 0.6 points, up from the prior week’s average 5 year adjustable mortgage interest rate of 2.72 percent. Current mortgage rates on 5 year conforming adjustable loans can be found well below the average rate. Currently in the state of Texas we have lenders offering 5 year adjustable refinance rates today as low as 1.875 percent with points.

Mortgage Rates Jump Higher This Week

Mortgage rates jumped higher this week as 10 year bond yields moved back over 2.00% sending current mortgage rates higher. Mortgage rates today on 30 year home loans are averaging 4.08% with 0.8 mortgage points for the week ending March 22, 2011 according to Freddie Mac. Today’s mortgage rates on 30 year loans are up from last week’s average mortgage interest rate of 3.92%.

30 year conforming mortgage rates have stayed under 4.00% for most of 2012. Recent positive economic news has sent bond yields higher, since most advertised mortgage rates are tied to bond yields mortgage rates have headed higher.

Fixed conforming 15 year mortgage rates are also higher in this week’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey. Mortgage rates current on 15 conforming loans are averaging 3.30% with 0.8 points, up from last week’s average 15 year mortgage rate of 3.16%.

Adjustable mortage rates on both 5 year adjustable loans and 1 year adjustable loans moved higher this week. Average 5 year adjustable mortgage rates are at 2.96% with 0.7 points, up from the previous week’s average adjustable rate of 2.83%. 1 year adjustable mortgage interest rates are averaging 2.84% with 0.6 points, an increase from last week’s average 1 year rate of 2.79%.

Although average mortgage rates increased this week the mortgage rates trend is stable rates for the foreseeable future. Even if rates do move higher they are so low now you still can get a good deal on a loan. Also remember that these average rates are just averages you can find mortgage rates or refinance rates even lower than these rates.

Here is an interesting video on Making Home Affordable information on refinancing even though mortgage rates today are higher:

Right now on our mortgage rate tables several lenders are offering mortgage rates lower than 4.08% for a 30 year loan. CapWest Mortgage is offering 30 year conforming rates at 3.97%. Seckel Capital is offer 30 year rates even lower at 3.92%.

To see what rates you can get on home loans just search the rate table on mortgageratescurrent.org. Just enter your loan amount, select the loan types and term, the state the home resides in and if the loan is for a purchase or a refinance.

Either way you get go wrong searching for rates these days. If you already own a home and have a mortgage that is 1.00% higher than current mortgage rates it makes financial sense to refinance. Chances are if your current loan as a rate (30 year loan) of 5.00% or higher it makes sense to refinance. That is as long as you plan to stay in your home long enough to recoop the refinance costs.
