Key Takeaways New purchase mortgage rates for the principal loan types inched slightly lower this past week.

Jumbo 30-year rates fell further last week but only subtracted 5 basis points to average 6.90%.

The best rate in every CD term held firm today, and the 5.50% leader is available for a few more days. But CD rates are drifting lower, so lock in ASAP on an offer you like.

Key Takeaways For a limited time, California Coast Credit Union is paying 9.50% APY on a 5-month CD. Anyone nationwide can join the credit union. But the CD is limited to a maximum deposit of $3,000, and you'll need to open another Cal Coast account, such as their fee-free checking. If you're looking to make a small CD deposit, this offer is unbeatable, given the next-best 6-month CDs pay 5.00% to 5.50%.
