Mortgage Rates have declined for the past 3 weeks. If you are interested in buying, give me a call at 405-808-7922. I have great lender options.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association's Weekly Applications Survey, average mortgage rates fell last week from one week earlier. Rates were down for some fixed-rate loans with both conforming and jumbo balances and loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration.

Joel Kan, MBA's vice president and deputy chief economist, says rates have been trending downward lately. “Mortgage rates declined for the third straight week, which is good news for potential home buyers looking ahead to the spring home buying season,” Kan said. “Home buying activity remains tepid, but if rates continue to fall and home prices cool further, we expect to see potential buyers come back into the market. Many have been waiting for affordability challenges to subside.” Last week, demand for loans to buy homes was up 3 percent from the week before. The MBA's weekly survey has been conducted since 1990 and covers 75 percent of all retail residential mortgage applications.
