Mortgage Rates Hit Record Low in the Second Week of 2012

Buying a new home on your list of Things to do in 2012?

Now certainly could be a great time to buy, according to Freddie Mac.  Reporting last week in its weekly market survey, mortgage rates fell for the 6th consecutive week, and dropped below 4% for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages - the most popular mortgage choice amongst today homebuyers. 

Although overall unemployment rates remained high in 2011, the economy added 1.6 million jobs throughout a 365-day period - the highest since 2006.

Jobs, jobs, jobs. Until people are secure in their jobs, rates could be zero and sales will still be low. However, for those secure, grab it.

One more reason for buyer's who are qualified to buy now you never know when the rates will increase.
