Mortgage rate trends in 2006 – to help you make the right moves.

Summary Data for mortgage rates in 2006 show all signs of returning to the mid-six percentage range

Hi, It pays to keep a close watch on mortgage rates. It can mean all the difference between selecting mortgages at high rates and saving on thousands of dollars over the life of a loan. Data for mortgage rates in 2006 show all signs of returning to the mid-six percentage range. After reaching a high of nearly 7% towards the end of June, average interest rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages have dropped to rates that were prevailing at the beginning of the year. Similar patterns are evident to a lesser extent for conventional 15-year fixed rate mortgages, and one-year adjustable rate mortgages also. The average difference in rates between various types of mortgage loans is the least in the past decade. From all accounts and reports it is apparent that home loan applications are on the rise. With mortgage rates poised at where they are over the last few weeks, cash-out refinancing has registered a record increase at around 12%. The reactions are mixed and it will take some time before a clear picture emerges. Studies show that refinancing loans account for nearly 70% of all mortgage applications made over the past three months. The continuing downward trend as shown in the graph of mortgage rates (http://www.mortgages-expo.com/mortgage-trends.html) throws up interesting possibilities. To get the right loans relevant to your situation explore and understand options before making a choice. Thanks and Regards Samantha
