Wilmington, NC (PRWEB) July 23, 2012

Once again mortgage rates have reached new record lows, this time for three of the most popular mortgage products, reports interest rate research website, ForTheBestRate.com. Home mortgage rates dipped this week for 30 year fixed rate loans, 15 year fixed rate loans, and 5/1 adjustable rate mortgage loans.

This unprecedented pricing was reflected in the rate tables on the site, with 30 year fixed rates listed on Thursday, July 19th, 2012 as low as 3.38% (APR: 3.46%, Points: 0.625, Fees in APR: $ 768, Lender: BB&T,) 15 year fixed rates as low as 2.75% (APR: 2.75%, Points: 0, Fees in APR; $ 0, Lender: Pleasant Valley Home Mortgage,) and 5/1 ARM rates as low as 2.38% (APR: 3.15%, Points: 2.000, Fees in APR: $ 0, Lender: Roundpoint Mortgage Company.)

Mortgage pricing data released Thursday, July 19th, 2012 in the weekly survey of mortgage rates from Freddie Mac, a government sponsored enterprise and purchaser of mortgage loans on the secondary market, also showed that new record lows were set for mortgage rates. The report showed that on average across all US markets 30 year fixed rates averaged a record low 3.53% (0.7 points) for the week ending July 19th, 2012, down from 3.56% (0.7 points) one week earlier. 15 year mortgage rates dropped by a similar amount to an average of 2.83% (0.6) from 2.86% (0.7 points,) and 5 year ARM rates moved to 2.69% (0.6 points) from 2.74% (0.6 points.)

“There is certainly consumer demand for mortgage rate information as new records continue to be set week after week,” commented Nat Criss, Managing Parter of CMG Equities, LLC which runs ForTheBestRate.com. “Traffic from mortgage shoppers to ForTheBestRate.com was up more than 23 percent for the past 30 days when compared to the same time period last year when average 30 year fixed mortgage rates ranged from 4.50% with 0.8 points to 4.60 with 0.7 points” he continued.
