As mentioned in a recent article on inmannews.com, Freddie Mac announced that prime borrowers, able to put down 20 percent were offered a 30-year fixed rate mortgage just above 5 percent. Borrowers making smaller down payments can expect to pay slightly higher rate. These unbelievable low interest rates coupled with low home prices and a $8000 tax credit for first time home buyers make this the perfect time to buy.
