Current Interest Rates

The Current State of Interest Rates

Courtesy of Diane Harrington of Leader Mortgage
As the attached chart demonstrates, mortgage interest rates are at historic lows. If you own a home and have not re-financed over the past year, please consider doing so now.  If you're considering buying a new home, your buying power currently may be at its highest due to the low rates.
 
To shed further light on this, consider the following:  If rates increase by half of a percent and you buy a home for 5% less than your target price, then your monthly mortgage payment actually goes UP...  your buying power goes DOWN!
