U.S. mortgage rates dropped this this week again dipping below the 3% mark, according to Freddie Mac. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 2.95% for the week ending May 27 — down from 3% last week. More than two months ago, mortgage rates hit 2.65%, which was the lowest since tracking began in 1971. A year ago, mortgage rates stood at 3.15%.

Substantial opportunity continues to exist today, as nearly $2 trillion in conforming mortgages have the ability to refinance and reduce their interest rate by at least half a percentage point.”
