In a press release last week, National Association of Realtors president Charles McMillan applauded the Federal Reserve’s move to purchase an additional $750 billion on mortgage-based securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and up to $300 billion in Treasury notes. “Greater numbers of home buyers will be able to purchase a home, and homeowners facing challenges will be able to refinance into better terms,” he said. “We already are experiencing a great improvement in housing affordability due to historically low interest rates, and the Fed’s move will push affordability conditions to the best levels in 40 years.”

Mortgage rates dropped last week; the average 30-year fixed rate loan is now 5.37%, a full point lower than it was at this time last year. The lower rates come at the same time mortgage applications went up over 11%, as people take advantage of the discounts to refinance and buy homes.
