3-Year Fixed Rates Break 5%

low-mortgage-rates“Quick close promotions” are still going strong.  With a few exceptions, most of the best fixed rates today are with non-bank lenders offering big discounts to borrowers closing within 30-45 days.

If you’re hunting for a fixed rate, the sweet spot currently seems to be with 3-year mortgages.  A few lenders are now offering 3-year fixed mortgages at under 5.00%, with good privileges to boot.

The above rates are generally not available at the banks, however, so the best bet is to call a mortgage planner to start your research.
