MORTGAGE RATES DIPPED
In our post last week, we showed you how the yield on the 10-year bond dipped under 4% and that is a leading indicator and mortgage rates may be coming down. Well, yesterday, Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey showed the 30-year fixed mortgage at 6.47%, the lowest it has been in over a year. The 15-year fixed was at 5.63%. Now, this survey is based on past data and may not be representative of the current market. For instance, the 10-year bond actually retraced and touched 4% in the last week, thereby driving rates back up a bit.
Nevertheless, mortgage rates have come down. The rate you can get will depend on your specific scenario. If you are considering your mortgage financing options, give us a call. We can help.
