Home Mortgage Interest Rates

November 18, 2009, 8:05, pm By

It has been a while since I last provided an interest rate chart on this blog. Plus I was curious to see what the graph would look like. I knew rates were lower than earlier this year, but it’s always nice to see it plotted out.

As you can see in the chart below, after peaking at about 5.60% in the first week of June this year, the 30 year fixed rate has been hovering very close to 5.00%. The 15 year mortgage is also on a similar trend but at a slightly lower rate.

The good news is rates remain at historically low levels. The graph above is based on an average weekly mortgage rates provided by Freddie Mac. Of course the exact rate you receive is dependent on many factors.

It’s rather interesting that the 5/1 ARM was hovering between the 30 year and 15 year rates earlier this year and has recently returned to a similar position. Here are the highs and lows for the different loan terms:

  1. 30 Year Rate High: Week ending February 28th at 6.240%
  2. 30 Year Rate Low: Week ending January 24th at 5.480%
  3. 15 Year Rate High: Week ending February 28th at 5.72%
  4. 15 Year Rate Low: Week ending January 24th at 5.130%
  5. 5/1 ARM Rate High: Week ending January 3rd at 5.780%
