low interest rates colorado springs There are a multitude of reasons why interest rates have plummeted to 50 Year lows in the last 24 hours. The fact remains, low interest rates and a healthy real estate market are the leading contributors to a Colorado Springs, Colorado real estate recovery! And now with mortgage rates hitting near record lows, there has never been a better opportunity to save on your purchase or refinance.

How the Market Affects Interest Rates

What we have seen today is the pendulum swing we are becoming all too familiar with. The DOW opened down 300 points only to drop 500 within a matter of moments. This bore great news for the bond market, pushing interest rates to record lows.

All of this happened in spite of the fact that inflation finally showed up big in the reports (inflation is typically the enemy of the bond market) proving that the flight to safety is still treasuries.

So what does this mean to you?

Carpe Diem! Now is the time to seize the moment and take advantage of interest rates that are lower than we have seen in our lifetime.

Here’s the scoop:

If you have been preapproved to purchase a home, now is the time to make an offer and lock in an interest rate. Due to volatility in the market and the enormous pendulum swing we continue to see, now is not the time to wait and lock in a low interest rate on your purchase!

HI Rebekah,

Good information and perspective in your excellent interest rate review, some people will see the stock market issues as a bad thing, but is it really..., we are tempted to say that this will make people ralize that relying on others for their financial well being may not be the right path...... real estate has a much better track record over the decades

I believe Eisenhower was President the last time they were in the same range.  But that was WAY before your time, young lady.  (I MISS YOU)

Rebekah - the low rates of today certainly are a factor to consider when buying or worth watching and considering locking in that floating rate you now have

Peter and Linda - Its never fun watching the stock market take a tumble but one thing we do know for sure is that real estate is always a good investment.  With interest rates at 50 yr lows and home prices as low as they are, buying a home has never been more affordable!

Mimi - That is crazy when you think about it, isn't it??!  Rates really are unbelievable!

Kathy - Its definitely not a time to play around with floating the rate -- especially after watching what happened yesterday in such a short period of time.

That's exactly how I look at it Susan.  Keep that payment lower and buy more of a home than you believed you could all while keeping that payment well within your budget.
