Mortgage Rates From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Near Lowest Levels in a Month

Last Monday, mortgage rates were near the highest levels in more than 3 months. A week later, and the average lender is right in line with the lowest levels in more than a month.

The average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate fell back below 7% with today’s move, but not by much. This means many borrowers will still be seeing rates in the low 7s, even for top tier scenarios. [30 year fixed 6.93%]
