From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Back to 3.25% in Some Cases

Mortgage rates dropped noticeably today, bringing quite a few lenders down to 3.25% in terms of conventional 30yr fixed quotes on top tier scenarios. For all intents and purposes, these rates are "all-time lows," even though there were several occasions in late 2012 where some lenders offered lower rates. It just depends on what sort of time-frame you want to put on the previous instances of all-time lows. If we're talking about rates that were available for a few days here and there, then we're not quite back to those yet. If we're talking about the lowest stably-held rate for most top-tier quotes, we're back!
