Great rates but economy still sluggish.

Posted on September 11, 2011 by wesatiyeh

Rates on 30-year mortgages averaged a record low 4.12% this week, according to Freddie Mac. Yet new mortgage applications for purchases and refinances have dropped recently. Wells Fargo’s economists attribute this to tighter underwriting standards and sluggish economic growth. However, underwater homeowners may still be eligible to refinance through the Obama Administration’s Making Home Affordable Refinance Program.
