Interest rates have edged back down again, with the 30-year fixed lower at 5.65 percent and the ten year treasury edging to 4.26 percent. For those who were considering buying a new home with the rates at their recently above six-percent averages, this may be good news for them if buying soon, especially if they plan on locking in those rates.

And all those commercials saying that the interest rates would not go back down, lol, what do they really know? Definitely a good time to refinance and go with 15 year if one is at 30 year or get a low, fixed rate for existing loan if on has an ARM.

Very true. When rates are low it's also a great time to sell, because your pool of buyers has more buyers in it, and needless to say, if you're buying with a mortgage, it's a great time to buy if you plan on getting a loan that locks in your rates.
