According to the data collected on June 14, 2011, for LendingTree’s Weekly Mortgage Rate Pulse, average home loan rates offered by network lenders was 4.67 percent (4.81% APR) for 30-year fixed mortgages, which is down from 4.71 percent reported the previous week, 3.88 percent (4.12% APR) for 15-year fixed mortgages, which is down from 3.99 percent reported the previous week, and 3.31 percent (3.36% APR) for 5/1 adjustable rate mortgages (ARM), which was up from 3.27 percent reported last week.
The lowest mortgage rates offered on the same day by lenders on the LendingTree network were 4.375 percent (4.51% APR) for a 30-year fixed mortgage, which is the same that was offered last week, 3.375 percent (3.61% APR) for a 15-year fixed mortgage, which was also the same offered last week, and 2.75 percent (3.12% APR) for a 5/1 ARM, which is the same rate offered the week before.
"Rates are continuing their free fall, spurring refinancing activity," said Cameron Findlay, chief economist of LendingTree.com. "Home purchase activity, however, hasn't seen the same spike – and homeownership is currently down to 1998 levels. Yet if we do a cost comparison from 1998 to today, we see the impact low mortgage rates have on home affordability. For example, in 1998, the average rate for a 30-year mortgage was 6.94%. Today, the average is just 4.71%. How does that translate? In 1998, for a $250,000 loan, a homebuyer's monthly payment would have been $1654 versus just $1298 today. That's a savings of $356 a month and a significant boost to what today's buyers can afford."
The LendingTree Weekly Mortgage Rate Pulse is a snapshot of the lowest and average home loan rates available within the LendingTree network of lenders and is compiled every Wednesday from data that is gathered from the previous day to reflect the most up to date information on current mortgage rates.
