Today's Mortgage Rates Watch & Real Estate/Mortgage News


Rates look like they are sitting fairly stable at the 5.25-5.5% range (5.67%-5.89% APR) on a Conventional 30 YR Fixed Loan, NO pts, 20% down (80% Loan To Value), Owner Occupied, with 740 or higher FICO credit score. We should see some help, since today's announcement of a nationwide unemployment rate of 9.5%, with job losses for last month around 467,000 nationwide.
