According to economic data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, national mortgage rates are 4.45% for a 15-year FRM, 5.30% for a 30-year FRM and 4.19% for a 5/1 ARM. This indicates that the average refinance rates in Arkansas for a 15-year and 30-year FRM are both cheaper than the national rate at 4.44% and 5.08%, respectively. However, the state’s interest rate for a 5/1 ARM is slightly higher at 4.51%.
Remember, a “good” rate is subjective. Each homeowner should consider their loan terms, loan amount, credit score, income and debts to determine whether a rate is good or not. It also helps to compare rate estimates from different lenders to find the best deal for you.
Additionally, mortgage rates fluctuate almost daily, so today’s estimates might be drastically different from next week’s rates.
