All mortgage products, except the 5-year adjustable rate mortgage, averaged all-time lows.

The 15-year fixed rate mortgage, a popular refinancing choice, averaged 2.73%, falling from 2.77% last week and setting a record low. A year ago, the average rate for a 15-year fixed rate mortgage was 3.28%.  The new record lows should help support the recovering real estate market.
