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

The following information is current as of Wednesday 12-5-2012 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.

No News today, but the market is behaving nicely.  It seems too nice, if you ask me.  bigger news toward the end of the week, lets watch the close carefully.  If we close down...I'd be look be looking for failed rally attempt which could spur a correction.
