Mortgage Rates Today Mixed, Fixed Conforming Rates Sightly Higher

Average mortgage rates today are mixed with fixed conforming 30 year rates and 15 year rates moving slightly higher. Fixed conforming 30 year mortgage rates which hit a record low of 3.39 percent last week are now averaging 3.44 percent. Average rates are higher this week but the uptrend won't last since the Fed is purchasing mortgage backed securities to force rates lower.
