Mortgage rates went lower this week as the Freddie Mac weekly survey showed rates at 5.38%.  Average mortgage rates have been all over the map lately so it is not surprising at all that this is a bounce back from 5.59%.  The question that remains is “will it save you any money?”  Honestly, rates bouncing around like they are is unlikely to save you any money.  I have several friends and family members that locked in around March and April at all time lows, but now things are much different.
