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

The following information is current as of Tuesday 1-8-2013 and will help you understand today's 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 Monday with an IMPROVEMENT to pricing (and will typically warrant a pricing adjustment by most Lenders). Monday's IMPROVEMENT netted a change of 3 basis points (bps).

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