Fixed mortgage rates have been inching down from June 2009 and now are around 5.0%.  March of 2009 saw historically how rates rates neared the 4.5% mark and they stayed under 5% for a couple of months. Mortgage rates then started an upward trend into the 5.5% range.  How long will rates be at 5%?  No one know for sure but it is an absolutely great time to be a first time home buyer with extremely low interest rates and the $8,000 tax credit.  Here is a chart showing the running one year trend.  Are your buyers sitting on the fence or taking advantage of this great opportunity?
