By: Ed Ferrara
June 9, 2010 (FreeRateUpdate.com) – Mortgage-backed securities prices, which drive fixed mortgage rates in the opposite direction, are up slightly today +3/32 (FNMA 30-yr 4.0 at 100.09), not enough to move mortgage rates. The small improvement in MBS prices stabilizes mortgage rates further at all time record lows.

FHA mortgage rates continue to be the same as conforming. Higher fees including MI make FHA loans more expensive.
Jumbo mortgage rates are steady. Today’s jumbo 30-year fixed mortgage rate is 5.375%.
Wells Fargo recently lowered their 30 year fixed mortgage rate advertised on their website from 4.875% to 4.75% with an APR of 4.939. Wells Fargo originates a higher volume of new mortgages than any other lender in the United States.

"I was looking at a 4.375% with Wells Fargo, my local bank, before stumbling upon FreeRateUpdate.com via a google search. They hooked me up with a longstanding savings and loan bank of which I closed on a 30 year fixed rate of 3.75% with. I'd recommend anybody looking at refinancing or buying a home give free rate a shot."
