I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that 30 year mortgage rates are at a two year low. It’s not too late for Phoenix area borrowers to take advantage of the recent decline. This is a great time for those in adjustable rate mortgages to think about refinancing. The last time rates were this low (September 2005) the New England Patriots were mortal and Mike Huckabee was running marathons, not a national campaign for President.
Here is a brief overview of how the thirty year fixed mortgage rate has done since January 2003:
The highest level was reached the week of July 20, 2006 at 6.800%. The highest level in 2007 was reached at 6.740% in June. Compare this to last weeks average rate of 5.875% and you see an almost 1% drop in rates the past six months.
