Wow!!!! 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans dipped to an all time low today at 4.69%. That is the lowest level since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971.
Rates on 15-year loans fell to an average of 4.13%. Five year, adjustable rate mortgages averaged 3.84%...also the lowest on record, but that year was 2005 when Freddie Mac began tracking ARMs.
The national average for points, the fees added to a mortgage, were between 0.6 and 0.7 depending upon the mortgage product chosen.
As a rule of thumb, mortgage rates tend to track yields on long-term Treasury debt. Investors have recently become leery of turbulent stock markets and the European debt crisis, thus seeking the safety of Treasury bonds which, in turn, drives down yields.

Spring is here and Steamboat is going through some changes. Steamboat City Council approved up to $2.5million for base area improvement at the ski area to start this summer. It was a unanimous decision and will provide many jobs and much desired activity at the base area this summer. If you're up near the ski area, make sure you stop in at The Powder Room which is open through mud-season. Also, take a tour of One Steamboat Place - but make sure you have a guide because it is easy to get lost.
There is quite a bit of pine tree removal going on near Thunderhead high speed lift. Some walking and riding trails may be closed and the disc-golf course will not be returning there this year.
Due to crazy spring weather (or maybe just normal Rocky Mountain spring weather) construction on Highway 40 through downtown is behind ...

New reports show there are good signs that the real estate markets are swinging back up:
Across the nation, sales of new homes surged 27 percent last month boosted by the help of government incentives and better weather.
The Commerce Department said Friday that new home sales rose in March becoming the strongest month since last July and the biggest monthly increase in 47 years.
The median sales price is up more than 4 percent from a year earlier.
These statistics are for the United States as a whole, and while each area is unique, it is promising for everyone. If you are looking to buy, don't wait until the media starts reporting that the real estate markets are back, because by that time, you will have missed the bottom. Look now, find your dream home and take advantage of this epic buyers market before it's gone.
