Mortgage Rates Drop To Record Lows With 15-Year Mortgages Averaging 3.95% And 30-Year Mortgage Averaging 4.49%

10 08 2010

The average rate on the 15-year fixed loan dropped to 3.95 percent last week, according to mortgage company Freddie Mac. That’s the lowest on records the company has kept since 1991.
The average rate for a 30-year fixed loan fell to 4.49 percent. Rates haven’t been that low since the 1950s, when longer-term mortgages typically lasted 20 to 25 years.
Rates on five-year adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 3.63 percent, down from 3.76 percent a week earlier.
Rates on one-year adjustable-rate mortgages fell to an average of 3.55 percent from 3.64 percent.

Rates have fallen since spring as investors seek the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds. That has lowered the yield on Treasurys. Mortgage rates tend to track those yields.
