Mortgage rates barely changed this week, giving refinancers and homebuyers some extra time to take advantage of the low-rate environment.
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose 1 basis point to 3.8 percent. A basis point is one-hundredth of 1 percentage point.
The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.02 percent, the same as last week. The average rate for 30-year jumbo mortgages, or generally for those of more than $417,000, rose 2 basis points to 4.21 percent.
The 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage rose 1 basis point to 2.76 percent. With a 5/1 ARM, the rate is fixed for five years and adjusted annually thereafter.
