Bank Refinance Rates Decrease Today as 10 Year Treasury Yields Decline Again

Lower Treasury yields are sending bank refinance rates lower today. 10 year Treasury yields are down 20 basis points since last Monday retreating to 1.65 percent today. As a result average mortgage refinance rates on 30 year conforming loans have fallen from a recent high of 3.68 percent down to 3.55 percent. Since bond yields are lower again today we will see average 30 year mortgage rates come down even more this week. We might see 30 year mortgage interest rates fall below 3.50 percent again.

Average 15 year refinance rates which were above 3.00 percent for most of last week have gone below 3.00 percent. Average 15 year refinance mortgage rates are at 2.90 percent, a decline from an average 15 year refi rate of 2.91 percent cent yesterday. 15 year rates are so low right now you'd be insane not to refinance a 30 year loan to a 15 year loan, that is if you can afford the higher monthly payments.

Current refinance rates on 30 year jumbo loans are also lower today. The current average 30 year jumbo mortgage rate is at 4.23 percent, down from yesterday's average 30 year jumbo refinance rate of 4.25 percent. This coming week we'll probably see average 30 year jumbo refi rates break below 4.20 percent.
