Mortgage interest rates dropped again in the last two weeks. For more than a year the Central bank has been buying $40B worth of mortgage backed securities each month, which gives the mortgage market cash flow and liquidity and keeps the cost of long term borrowing low. These extremely low interest rates have been like a beacon of light for the First Time Buyer who is competing to find her dream home.
