NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The national average interest rate on the benchmark 30-year, fixed-rate loan averaged 4.78% in the week ending Thursday, setting a new record low dating back to 1971 for the second consecutive week, according to Freddie Mac’s weekly survey. That rate is down from last week’s 4.85% and the year-ago 5.88%. The 15-year fixed-rate loan averaged 4.52%, another record low dating back to 1991, down from the week-ago 4.58% and the year-ago 5.42%. The five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage averaged 4.92%, compared with 4.96% a week ago and 5.59% a year ago. One-year Treasury-indexed ARMs averaged 4.75% this week, down from last week’s 4.85% and the year-ago 5.19%. “Mortgage rates followed other interest rates lower this week amid reports of slower economic growth,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economistApril 2, 2009 at 8:27 AM #375777RaybyrnesParticipantFreddie Mac: Fixed mortgage rates hit another low

Happy Thursday..
Yes, rates are low for those who qualify.
My current borrowers are locking in at 4.25%-4.50% for loans that they actually qualify for, up to $546K.A very high % of people do not qualify for the average rates that are quoted above. They have NO option to refi at ANY rate.
It still depends on credit score, proof of income, loan to value ratio, and whether cash is being taken out. Condos are harder to finance.
There is no ONE RATE that applies to everyone.
For those that do qualify, 4.25%-4.50% is available on rental property too.It’s a historical gift. Many people don’t seem to understand the long term guaranteed benefit of getting these low rates…. HLS
