Mortgage rates are still at a historical low. Freddie Mac released results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey a few days ago and found the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.72 percent and the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.17 percent. The 15 year rate has not been any lower than this since Freddie started tracking them in 1991.
