If you are currently seeking to get a mortgage, rates look very good. The typical 30 year fixed mortgage rate has fallen just more than 40 basis points in the past couple of weeks. The government is focused on helping banks refinance existing clients who have houses which are actually worth less than they owe. Government intervention will allow banks to lower their rates on new mortgages, and another Federal Reserve rate cut within the close to future will permit rates to fall even further.
