Today's mortgage rates - April 20, 2017. Mortgage rates barely moved this week, but did decline just enough for 30-year rates to reach new lows for 2017. According to Freddie Mac, the average conforming 30-year fixed-rate mortgage shed two basis points (0.02 percent) to slide to 4.08 percent. Fifteen-year fixed rate mortgages eased a similar amount, with that .02 decline good enough to tie a low for the year.
Interest rates on chattel loans range from 7 percent to 12.75 percent, says Ken Rishel, founder of Rishel Consulting Group in Chicago. The loans are usually for 15 or 20 years. In contrast, the average rate for a 30-year fixed-rate loan has been well below 5 percent for all of 2014. Rishel, whose company makes chattel loans of at least $5,000, says the interest rates are risk-based, and chattel loans are often the only choice for borrowers with poor credit. Chattel loans are the main option for owners whose mobile homes are not permanent foundations.
