We saw mortgage rates drop a little bit more last month. The most recent decrease will save new borrowers an additional $5.35 per month for every $100,000 borrowed. Average U.S. rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages were at 4.46% at the end of January. At the end of December, they were sitting at 4.55%. We are continuing to see a bit of a zig zag approach to the market with a few months of rising rates followed by a month or two of decline.
