Here was the report from Xinnix last Friday:

It was an exciting week for mortgage markets! Tuesday, the Fed and the Treasury announced a new program to purchase up to $500 billion in mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and mortgage rates dropped sharply after the news. The MBS purchases are expected to take place over the next few months. The goal of the new program is to lower mortgage rates, and the immediate reaction certainly was a big step in the right direction, as mortgage rates moved significantly lower during the week.

According to the Wall Street Journal, consumers around the country responded quickly to act on the drop in mortgage rates. In many cases, call volumes during the week were far above their recent levels as homeowners rush to refinance.

I can definitely attest to this as we have seen some clients are able to qualify for rates as low as 5.25% with 0 points!! So if you're on the fence, now is the time to act.
