Today's mortgage rates might be a lot higher, as I'm not that familiar with current rates. I was just taking the rate posted on Bankrate.com.

bankrate.com

Mortgage Overnight Averages:

30 yr fixed 5.97%
15 yr fixed 5.71%
5/1 ARM 5.75%
30 yr fixed jumbo 6.25%
5/1 jumbo ARM 5.89%

I realize upon reflection, that the theoretical $500k mortgage would be a jumbo, so the rate on a 5/1 ARM would be 5.89% according to Bankrate rather than 5.75%.
