Mortgage rates stick near lows, making little difference for refi deals

U.S. mortgage rates are sending mixed signals for investors. The headline average is showing a dip that could draw some buyers in, but the actual rate many borrowers see for locks and applications remains higher, keeping most refinances out of reach.

Fortune, citing Optimal Blue lock data for July 1, put the conforming 30-year mortgage at 6.419%.
