Mortgage rates were little changed this week as renewed concerns about the Greek debt bailout offset continued improvement in the U.S. economic picture.
The average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage nosed higher to 4.11% after tying a record low last week. The average 15-year fixed mortgage rate, inched lower to 3.34%, tying a record low set one month ago. The larger jumbo 30-year fixed mortgage rate held at 4.63%.
Rates for adjustable mortgage products were mixed. The 3-year and 5-year adjustable mortgages were down, to 3.21% and 3.03%, while the 10-year ARM remained at 3.61%.
A looming jobs report could reintroduce volatility to mortgage rates if it widely departs from expectations ... either on the upside or the downside. Stay tuned.
