NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Home mortgage rates were mostly unchanged this week, with the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate holding steady, according to a report released Thursday.

The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate remained at 5.23%, the same as the previous week, according to Bankrate.com's weekly national survey.

Still, rates remain at historic lows. Rates have plunged since late October, when 30-year fixed home mortgage rates averaged 6.77%.

"The movement in fixed mortgage rates has been very subdued in recent weeks, compared to the wild gyrations seen several months ago," the report said.

The release comes after a week of reports that showed a record jump in foreclosures and a decline in mortgage applications.

Six months ago, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.77%, meaning a $200,000 loan would have carried a monthly payment of $1,299.86. With the average rate now at 5.23%, the monthly payment for the same size loan would be $1,101.93, meaning homeowners who refinance now would save almost $200 per month.

Other rates: The average 15-year fixed rate mortgage ticked down to 4.73% from 4.76% the week prior.

The average jumbo 30-year fixed rate jumped to 6.65% from 6.52% the previous week.

Adjustable rate mortgages were "broadly lower," the report said, with the average 1-year ARM slipping to 5.12% from rising to 5.32% and 5/1 ARMs fell to 5.05% from 5.11%. To top of page
