"NAR has been aggressively calling for mortgage rate reductions, and the Fed's action to slash interest rates, coupled with the actions by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Department of the Treasury, has driven down interest rates to make the dream of homeownership once again attainable for thousands of Americans," said NAR President Charles McMillan. Mortgage rates, which had averaged 6.3 percent in the third quarter, have recently fallen into the 4 percent range in some parts of the country. "That is the lowest rate in nearly 50 years and will bring buyers back to the market," McMillan said. "We are pleased that the government heard our message and responded to our call for action."
This is a great time to buy as a buyer right now. Interest rates are at a all time low, there is a first time home buyers credit, and prices are still low on homes.
