Terrific Mortgage Loan Rates Setting New Record Lows

 

Mortgage loan interest rates on 30-year fixed-rate home mortgages dropped below 4 percent (to 3.94 percent with average of .8 point) this week for the first time (according to Freddie Mac GSE and its Primary Mortgage Market Survey).

Rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages have never been lower (according to Freddie Mac, U.S. government supported enterprise) records dating to 1971.

Fannie Mae (GSE) economists projected:

• Mortgage rates will stay below 5 percent through 2013
• Purchase money loan demand will more than double in the next two years
• mortgage purchase loans will total $394 billion this year, which is down 16 percent from last year 
• no current upward pressure on mortgage rates
• 30-year fixed-rate loans will average 4.2 percent during the final quarter of 2011 and stay there for the first half of 2012 
• gradual rise in rates for 30-year fixed-rate loans, to 4.4 percent during the final three months of 2012 and an average of 4.6 percent during 2013.

Mortgage Rates being quoted by private mortgage brokers here at Orange County CA include 3.75 percent for a 30 year fixed conforming loan to $417k with one point.

Question is - with current economy situation and high unemployment - whether people will be qualified enough to take advantage of these fantastic mortgage loan rates for home purchase or refinance.
