All time low mortgage rates - time to buyer or refi

All time low mortgage rates – Is it time to buy or refi?

How low can they go? El Paso Texas mortgage brokers are getting 3.95% and lower for Fort Bliss home buyers. This is particularly important for all the military buyers transferring to El Paso Texas as a result of BRAC, 1st AD, soldiers returning from Iraq and the possible selection for a new security forces regional training center.

Fixed mortgage rates dropped again to a record low. The national average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.21% from 3.27%.  The average rate on the 30-year fixed loan has been below 5% for all but two weeks in the past year, and many homeowners who can afford to refinance already have.  For El Paso Preferred VA Lenders contact RE/MAX in El Paso, Texas.
