From Matthew Graham at Mortgage News Daily: Mortgage Rates Take Another Step Toward April Lows
April 3rd and 4th saw the average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rates well into the “mid 6’s.” Many lenders were able to quote 6.5% at the time. Just a few days ago, we noted there was still a ways to go before breaking below those early April levels, but the past few days have taken us within striking distance. [30 year fixed 6.67%]
