From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Slightly Higher, But Steady Overall

Mortgage rates rose slightly again today, despite moderate improvement in underlying bond markets. ... All that having been said, mortgage rate movement continues to take place inside an exceptionally narrow range.  For the past 3 weeks, most borrowers would be quoted the exact same NOTE rate from most lenders, with the only variation coming in the form of upfront cost.  The most prevalent top tier conventional 30yr fixed quote remains 4.125%, though several lenders are on either side of that by 0.125%.
