Mortgage Rates

If you've been waiting for interest rates to fall lower before you buy a home you may have waited too long.  30 year fixed rate mortgages surged to 5.29% last week.  That is still a great interest rate but off of the lows that bounced on 4.5% a few months ago.

I currently have several sales in escrow that have locked in rates of 4.75% interest.  We may not see these rates again for years.  You can still ask the seller to pay discount points and buy down your loan to 4.75%.  Don't wait for the rates to go lower.  It may not happen this year.
