Mortgage Rates and News for This Week -

January 20th, 2012 2:24 PM

This week we saw a slight rise in mortgage rates from the week prior but we expect mortgage rates to stay near historic lows for the foreseeable future unless some major event causes hyper-inflation.
On a side note the bigger banks continue to have problems with thier mortgage products. This week Bank of America announced that it was backing out of the Cash-out refinance market.
Once again, if you are looking refinance or if you need to get a pre-qualification in order to shop for a new home please do not forget about me. Or, if you are a merchant and you want to be able to offer financing for your clients to purchase your product, I now have a product for you.
