71% With Student Debt Say it Delays Homebuying; Yep, Mortgage Rates Are Still Super Low; Fed vs Brexit

Mortgage rates haven't moved too much recently, and no one is complaining. While each of the past 5 days has only seen a modest drop in rates, they were already operating near 3-year lows. They officially hit new 3-year lows late last week, meaning today's modest improvement only takes us deeper into that territory. It gets better. Three-year lows also happen to be pretty close to all-time lows. In terms of the average conventional 30yr fixed rate on a top tier scenario, we're talking about the difference between 3.5% today and 3.25% in late 2012. Those all-time lows were only available for a few weeks back then, and it was 3.375% that was the most commonly-quoted rate "all-time low" from there on out. So that's an eighth of a point between now and then--roughly $12/month on a $200k loan. Low
