From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Rates Catch a Break to Remain Near Long-Term Lows

Mortgage rates were generally flat today, depending on the lender. Some were noticeably better while others were a hair worse. In both cases, rates are very close to the lowest levels since late 2016. Changes from Friday would most likely be measured in terms of upfront costs as opposed to differences in the quoted "note rate" itself (the rate most people are talking about when they talk about mortgage rates). [Most Prevalent Rates 30YR FIXED - 3.625% OR 3.875%]
