We saw mortgage rates drop slightly last month. The most recent decrease will save new borrowers an additional $3.03 per month for every $100,000 borrowed. Average U.S. rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages were at 4.81% at the end of November (and are even a little lower as I am writing this). At the end of October, they were sitting at 4.86%. 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.
