Mortgage Rates are LOW

The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has fallen to its lowest level on record -- 4.15 percent.


The last time rates were lower was in the 1950s, when gas was 80 cents a gallon, and the average house cost $25,000.

Five years ago, the average 30-year fixed rate was near 6.5 percent.

In 2000, it exceeded 8 percent.

Most homeowners are paying rates more than a full percentage point higher than the current average.

The average rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.36 percent, also a record low.

If you’re a qualified Borrower and want to take advantage of these record low rates, I can help.

If you are thinking of Selling, you should know that inventory is as low as the rates are! This makes it very attractive to you as a seller. Be aware, that because inventory is so low, Sellers are receiving multiple offers on their homes. In other words, Buyers are fighting over the available homes.
