Mortgage rates dropped to their lowest level in 2010 after treasury yields slumped as investors seek safe haven after last week’s 1,000 point stock-market drop. The national average was as low as 4.5% for a 30 year fixed and below 4% for certain adjustable rate mortgages. The drop went unnoticed by most outside of the industry as the focus was mainly on the market crash.
With the home buyer tax credit having expired two weeks ago, low rates remain the best incentive for home buyers. The National Association of Realtors reported this week that housing prices rose in 91 of the nation’s 151 largest metropolitan areas.
