The following information is current as of Friday 7-26-2013 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 Thursday with a SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT to pricing.  Thursday's SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT netted a change of 25 basis points (bps).
