Mortgage Rates: Current Mortgage Rates July 20, 2009

Current mortgage rates are up this past week brought on by higher Treasury rates, 10-year U.S. Treasury rates rose from about 3.30 percent to 3.65 percent this week. Today's mortgage rates are  still low by historical standards.

The low mortgage rates are bringing home buyers back to the market and helping to put an end to the housing crises. Low mortgage loan rates are also spurring mortgage refinance activity. The Mortgage Bankers Association reported last week that their Refinance Index rose 17.7 percent from the previous week on a seasonally adjusted basis.

Another index released this past week further supports the beginning of the end of the housing crises. The National Association of Realtors released their Pending Home Sales Index which showed a slight increase in May 2009. The increase was only 0.1 percent but it was the fourth consecutive monthly increase which hasn't happened since October 2004.
