Thirty-year fixed mortgage rates have declined significantly in recent weeks, down from 6% on 11/20 to 5.28% as of yesterday. The Fed is definitely happy to see rates fall, and they've still got further to go to get to the 10-year record low of 4.88% seen in 2003.
Time for Obama to step in,an "change" the 30yr to 4 an 1/4.....we can only "hope"....

My bank is offering 30-yr fixed refi at 4.875%. with about $1500 in refi costs.
They are also expecting rates to fall as low as 4% after the first of the year.
