Big Surge in Mortgage Applications!

The first week of 2009 proved to be a busy one for mortgage lenders. Rates for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage are hovering and even dipping below 5% for some applicants. This is a major cause for the mortgage applicant index to be higher than it's been since July 2003. Now that the federal government is committed to buying mortgage-backed securities to keep borrowing costs low, many experts predict that rates will stay low for the next quarter. Note to all first time buyers out there, NOW'S THE TIME to buy. House values have yet to be effected by the rally of mortgage applications.

Oh By the way... I'm never too busy for any of your referrals!
