Rates Edging Down

Filed under: Rates — Tags: , — Don Grafues @ 2:45 pm
 
Rates continue to creep downwards this past week. 30 year fixed ended the period at 4.44 percent, down from 4.49. One result of this slow but steady trend is an increase in refinancing. Unfortunately, as is pointed out in a REALTOR®Mag article, the people who would benefit the most from a refinance will probably not qualify under the tighter rules used by lenders.
