Are the Mortgage Rates freaking you out and holding you back?
Every Monday I provide updates on Mortgage Rates and how the rates are affecting the housing market. Not much has changed since my video, so you can watch it here.
If you are like me and want to track and review the graphs start here.
- Tracking Convention Mortgage Rates ~ Freddie Mac/pmms
- Track the 10-year Treasury Yield. Rates will follow if the yield is up or down. Mortgage rates have nothing to do with the Federal Reserve.
- What goes up always comes down. I would rather pay less for a house and refinance when mortgage rates adjust. Housing prices were getting out of control and this is a great way to slow them down.
- As you can see by the graph we are just moving into a more NORMAL HOUSING MARKET. The last housing boom was in 2000 and Mortgage Rates were at 8.62%.
