In a short week following Presidents Day, the 10-year Treasury yield fell about 8 basis points. However, the 30-year mortgage rate rose 1 basis point to 4.16 percent. This week’s survey once again displays the disconnect between mortgage rates and Treasury yields, a result of continued uncertainty.
- 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 4.16 percent with an average 0.5 point for the week ending Feb. 23, 2017, up from last week when it averaged 4.15 percent. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 3.62 percent.
- 15-year FRM this week averaged 3.37 percent with an average 0.5 point, up from last week when it averaged 3.35 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 2.93 percent.
- 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 3.16 percent this week with an average 0.4 point, down from last week when it averaged 3.18 percent. A year ago, the 5-year ARM averaged 2.79 percent.
