Mortgage Rate Update 4-23-12: Trends Projections & Todays Lowest Rates

By
Mortgage and Lending with CMG Mortgage, San Diego, CA NMLS 259027

Another day, another improvement for mortgage rates. If you have not already refinanced your existing mortgage, what exactly are you waiting for? Interest rates historically tend to move up and down on a chart (similar to a heart monitor). By locking in rates now, you will be securing some of the lowest mortgage rates in history.

Before you decide who to work with for your next mortgage, I recommend you take a moment to become familiar with THE TRUTH BEHIND MORTGAGE QUOTES. I hope you find this information useful.

The Mortgage Street Smarts of where mortgage interest rates are going (and why):

The following information is current as of Monday 4-23-2012 and will help you understand todays best mortgage rates. If you are a Buyer/Borrower who is still on the fence (or if you are a Real Estate Agent attempting to educate your "on the fence" Buyer), please review these trends and secure an historically low interest rate before it is too late.

The market closed Friday with an IMPROVEMENT to pricing (and will typically warrant a pricing adjustment by most Lenders). Friday's IMPROVEMENT resulted in a change of 9 basis points (bps).

(hint: upward activity is good, downward activity is bad)
