Happy Thanksgiving week! While you're preparing the turkey and revving up for Black Friday, check out these recently lowered rates. The 30-year fixed rate has dropped from 3.125 percent to just 3 percent with a 3.1511 percent APR and the 20-year fixed rate has dropped from 3.125 to 2.875 percent with a 3.0881 percent APR, while the 15-year fixed rate has remained the same at 2.500 percent. 

Thinking about switching from a 30- or 20-year fixed rate to a 15-year fixed rate? With a shorter term, you get your mortgage paid off sooner. And with today's lower rates, you can save a whole lot more money than simply refinancing to the same term. Check out this article from FreeRateUpdate.com for more tips and information on refinancing to a 15-year rate.
