The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 3.9% for the week ending November 9, 2017. This is down from last week’s 3.94%, but up from 3.57% last year.
The 15-year FRM also decreased, falling from 3.27% last week to 3.24% this week. This is up from 2.88% last year.
The five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage decreased just slightly to 3.22%, down from 3.23% last week but up from 2.88% last year.
“The 10-year Treasury yield fell roughly seven basis points, while the 30-year mortgage rate dropped four basis points to 3.9%,” Becketti said.
