UPDATED! Please go here for updated mortgage rate trend charts (updated through May 2011)
Our original incarnation of the 30 year historical mortgage rate trend chart, published two years ago today, is consistently one of the more frequently visited articles on this blog.
I updated and added other trend charts in January of this year, and it seemed prudent to update the charts once again.
As I get several requests a month for larger versions of these charts, I’ve included them here (just click on the chart you want to see or save). You are welcome to use these charts as you see fit, I just request that the attribution remain and a link back to this post would be appreciated!
