Last December, the monthly mortgage rate for 30-year mortgages (conventional, conforming) was 3.96%, the lowest Freddie Mac has reported since it began keeping track in 1971. A year earlier, in December 2010, the comparable rate was 4.71%. You can access Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey Archives online here:
