I'm Doug Whiteman with Bankrate.com and here is your weekly look at mortgage rates.
The average interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose 1 basis points this week to 3.8 percent. The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage held steady at 3.02 percent and the average rate for 30-year jumbo mortgages rose 2 basis points to 4.21 percent.
The 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage picked up 1 basis point, rising to 2.76 percent.
Mortgage rates barely changed this week, giving refinancers and homebuyers some extra time to take advantage of the low-rate environment. If you have good credit, a down payment and a steady income, now is still a great time to buy. If you're still on the fence about whether homeownership is right for you, Bankrate.com has all the tools you need to make the right choice.
