Spring is in full bloom here in the North Metro Atlanta area. The Fed announced earlier that they believed that the US economy may be strong enough to withstand an increase in mortgage interest rates. These rates have been kept low by the Federal Reserve for several months now. Buyer confidence is up as well. At their June meeting, they plan on looking over the economic data at that time to see if, in fact, it is time to implement an increase. Currently, interest rates are just under 4% for a 30 year fixed and just over 3% for a 5/1 adjustable rate mortgage. If you want to purchase a new home, don't hesitate.
