I just received a short note from a local mortgage broker, yesterday. In it, she reports an unlikelihood that rates will move downward very much, if at all..."last Friday, Jack Koskinen, interim chief executive of Freddie Mac, said that home loan rates are near the bottom and that any further decreases will be small."
