CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 6 /PRNewswire/ --Average mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels on record this week, according to the LendingTree [ Weekly Mortgage Rate Pulse ], a snapshot of the lowest and average mortgage rates available within the LendingTree network of lenders.
On October 5, average [ home loan rates ] offered by LendingTree network lenders dropped week-over-week to 4.35 percent (4.56% APR) for 30-year fixed mortgages, 3.81 percent (4.13% APR) for 15-year fixed mortgages and 3.32 percent (3.55% APR) for 5/1 ARMs.
