Mortgage Rates Update for Tuesday, September 20, 2011

By on September 20, 2011

Stocks took a beating again yesterday, and mortgage rates once again set record lows.  The markets are increasingly jittery about the soundness of European mega-banks’ balance sheets and the viability of the Eurozone as a whole.  Despite the general financial uncertainty, now is an excellent time to refinance your mortgage or lock in a low rate for the purchase of a new home.  Rates haven’t been this low in more than 60 years, and there is no telling when they may start to rise.  To get pre-approved for a home loan, or to find out more about our rates, call one of our licensed loan officers today at 877-868-2503.
