While we saw mortgage interest rates drop a bit to begin the last 30 days, they are now back in essentially the same place they were at this point in November. The miniscule change will save new borrowers just over a $1 per month for every $100,000 borrowed. Average U.S. rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages were at 3.73% as of this week. Last month at this time, they were sitting at 3.75%.
