Mortgage Rates – As mortgage rates sink, consumers have reason to think about buying, refinancing

Interest rates on the benchmark 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage dipped to a 38-year low this month, giving consumers another reason to consider purchasing a home or refinancing their current one.

Freddie Mac said Dec. 3 the average rate on a 30-year loan was 4.71 percent with an average 0.7 point, the lowest rate since the agency began its weekly tracking of long-term interest rates in 1971. A point is equal to 1 percent of the loan amount, payable as a lump sum at closing.

The decline wasn’t overly dramatic. After all, the average rate in last week’s survey was a still-stellar 4.78 percent, tying the previous all-time low set in June.
