Current Mortgage Interest Rates: November 2, 2009

Current mortgage interest rates are down slightly this week following 10 year U.S. Treasury yields which fell below 3.50 percent. Both conforming mortgage rates and jumbo mortgage rates were lower this week over last. One year jumbo rate mortgages were down considerably.

These low interest rates are not expected to last. Mortgage interest rates will start heading higher as the economy recovers, which has already begun.
