Mortgage Rates Today

A 30 year mortgage rate is available at 6.375% for borrowers with credit scores over 740. The mortgage is a 5/1 Arm which means the initial rate is fixed for 5 years and adjusts annually on the 6th through 8th years if you have not paid it off or refinanced. It has a lifetime cap of 6%. In other words if you had the loan 8 years the maximum rate would be 6% higher. It adjusts 2% annually starting on the 61st month.

Federal Reserve To Meet

The Federal Reserve meets Tuesday and analysts believe rates will remain the same. Currently the prime rate is 5%. This is the rate banks use for certain consumer loans and home equity lines of credit. 30 year mortgage rates are not tied directly to the Fed however the Fed does play a huge roll in credit availability.

The current 30 year fixed mortgage rates in Wisconsin are 6.25% with 1 point or 6.5% with no points.
