Mortgage News Daily Says.

Mortgages Rates improved again today, though some lenders’ rates were little changed.  This marks the second day of moderate improvement and consolidation after a strong move lower by most lenders on Friday.  There’s a greater-than-normal variability between lender offerings, but in general, mortgage rates are near their best levels of the month.

The Best-Execution Conventional 30yr Fixed Rate is probably best viewed as 3.875% now for flawless scenarios, and 4.0% for many others.  Financially, in terms of “bang for the buck,” 4.0% is still the best deal, but many lenders can offer 3.875% with the same closing costs for pristine borrower scenarios.

As always, keep in mind that we track best-execution rates based on an ideal scenario in order to have a static frame of reference to capture the day to day MOVEMENT of interest rates.
