The Mortgage Bankers Association reported on mortgage activity last week. Mortgage rates are not changing very much. For 80% loan to value mortgages, the national averages are;
  • 30 year fixed, 4.94%.
  • 15 year fixed, 4.33%.
The adjustable rate mortgage data is suspect but we’ll show it anyway. This rate has been running between 4% and 5%. We cannot account for this sudden jump.

  • 1 year adjustable, 6.67%.
