Mortgage rates fell quite a bit today after a pretty rough Monday. Check out the most recent report from Mortgage News Daily, a great resource to stay up to date on the most recent mortgage rate news.
Mortgage rates fell noticeably today, after being pushed up against the highest levels in nearly a month yesterday. In that sense, the positivity in the underlying markets allowed rates to breathe a sigh of relief, quickly returning to levels in line with last Tuesday’s. When adjusted for changes in closing costs, the improvement was as much as 0.08% in some cases. Some borrowers may experience that in the form of significantly lower closing costs (no change in rate) while others may see an eighth of a point lower in rate for the same (or slightly higher) closing costs. After today, we’re much closer to 4.375% being the most prevalently quoted 30-yr fixed rate for the very best borrower scenarios (best-execution), though 4.5% shares much of that spotlight.
