Just When You Thought it Was Safe to Refinance: Mortgage Rates Today Hit Record Low

Its pretty amazing how low current mortgage rates are these days. In the beginning of 2012 when average 30 year mortgage rates broke through 4.00 percent I decided to pull the trigger and refinance my mortgage loan. Now 30 year mortgage rates today are averaging 3.59 and will probably break through 3.50 percent in the coming weeks.

Today's mortgage rates on 30 year home loans at 3.59 percent are a new all-time record low in our average mortgage rates survey. If you're thinking about refinancing or buying a home you can find lender's offering 30 year rates below the average of 3.59 percent.

Average 15 year conforming mortgage rates current are at 3.00 percent, down from an average 15 year mortgage rate of 3.01 percent. While average 15 year mortgage rates didn't hit a record low today rates are very near and all-time low of 2.97 percent.
