Mortgage Rates Drop on "Flight to Safety"...

The unfortunate circumstances in Japan and in the Middle East have created uncertainty in the investment markets causing a “flight to safety” of bond investments.  As illustrated in the figure below the bond market has returned to January highs thought to be history.  When the bond market is up – the yield or rates decrease.  As a result fixed mortgage loan rates have improved 0.250% to 0.375% since the first week in February. 

This is an exceptional time to buy a home or refinance.  Many missed out when interest rates moved up and this decline is not likely to last long.  Once the situation begins to stabilize market trends will re-establish and rates will go back up.
