Long-Term Mortgage Rates Fall – 30-Year at 3.64%

Investors rushed to Treasury bonds after the U.S. and Iran confrontation, pushing rates to a 13-week low, with a 15-year mortgage down to an average 3.07%.

U.S. long-term mortgage rates fell this week to their lowest level in 13 weeks, as financial markets roiled by U.S.-Iran conflict pushed investors toward the safety of Treasury bonds.

The yield on Treasury bonds, especially the 10-year note, tends to influence mortgage rates. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 3.64% from 3.72% last week. The benchmark rate was 4.45% a year ago.

Thanks to low mortgage rates, it's an excellent time to buy or sell a home across the U.S. But what about in Florida? Is the state's housing market too pricey for buyers? Not-so-great if you've got a home you want to sell? Or just right — for everybody? Home values provide some answers.
