Interest rates on the safest and most popular types of mortgages fell to record lows this week.
The average cost of a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage was
5.06% in Bankrate’s latest weekly survey of major lenders — the lowest average since the survey began in 1985.
In every market we checked, we found lenders offering these loans for 4.75%, with no points and fees of $2,000 or less.
The average cost of 15-year mortgages also reached a record low 4.72%, and jumbo loans are averaging less than 6% for the first time in more than four years.
