Mortgage Rates Remain Low After National Average Drops

By Phil Tortora on June 11, 2010

The lowest mortgage rates of 2010 continue to hold their ground at Total Mortgage Services, LLC Friday morning, as the national average on the 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to its lowest point of 2010 last week and is within reach of dipping to a record-low number. The national average on the 15-year fixed-rate fell to an all-time record last week.

At Total Mortgage, the 30-year fixed conventional mortgage is still at a 4.375 percent rate and 4.583 percent APR, and the 15-year fixed conventional mortgage is coming across at a 3.875 percent rate and 4.236 percent APR.

According to yesterday’s Freddie Mac report, the national average rate on 30-year fixed conventional mortgages fell to 4.72 percent from last week’s 4.79 percent rate. That is the lowest rate since the week ending Dec. 3, 2009, when it hit a record low of 4.71 percent. Freddie Mac also reported that the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.17 percent, down from last week’s 4.20 percent rate, and it is the lowest on record since Freddie Mac started tracking that mortgage type in August 1991.

On the economic front, a rally in the Euro propelled stocks sharply higher and bonds lower on Thursday. The Euro jumped from 1.197 to 1.212.  We could see a bit of a reversal in stocks this morning after disappointing retail sales numbers indicate a considerable slump in consumer spending.
