RealtyTime: Why Rates Remain Deliciously Low
From the article: “The benchmark 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 3.80 percent with an average 0.6 point for the week. Compare that to a year ago when the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage was 4.37 percent.”
That’s close to what my mortgage rate was 3.5 years ago!
From Bankrate.com, check out this chart that plots the last 3 years of fixed rate mortgages.
From the inbox: What’s up with the rental market here? And what’s the MLS?
Good question! The first answer is that we have an intense rental market here with an app. 96% occupancy rate. That’s been sustained, too, for a couple of years. If anything, it’s getting harder to find affordable housing in the rental market in Colorado Springs.
Second, the MLS is the local database of agent and property manager listed homes. It is not the sole source of rental properties in town but is the best product we as Realtors have access to.
