Mortgage Rates Change Little in This Week’s Mortgage Survey

Mortgage rates barely changed in this week's Primary Mortgage Market Survey. In the survey released by Freddie Mac this morning the current average 30 year conforming mortgage  rate is at 3.55 percent with 0.7 mortgage points for the week ending September 6, 2012, a decline from last week's average 30 year mortgage rate of 3.59 percent. Today's mortgage rates on 30 year conforming loans are just above an all-time record low of 3.49 percent set on July, 26, 2012.

This coming week current mortgage rates could plunge even further if a week employment report comes out tomorrow and the FOMC decides to start a third round of quantitative easing. QE3 would involve the Fed buying long term bonds to force long term Treasury yields lower. This in-turn would drive mortgage rates even lower. We could see average 30 year mortgage rates decline to 3.25 percent in Freddie's survey if the Fed eases in the coming weeks.

Currently on our 30 year refinance rates list you can find lenders offering rates well below the average rate. Right now on our 30 year refinance rates list in Texas there are lenders offering 30 year Texas refinance rates at 3.13 percent with points. Fearon Financial is offering 30 year rates at 3.13 percent with 0.50 points and LenderFi.com is offering rates at 3.13 percent with 0.875 points. If you don't want to pay points LenderFi.com is also listed offering 30 year refi rates at 3.25 percent without points.
