Well, in a couple of recent post, I have pondered the question of rising mortgage interest rates.  Of course a series of articles I had read caused me to ask the question.  Now, has my question been addressed?  Read the article below and you tell me.

Mortgage Rates Continue Record Slide 
Freddie Mac reports that rates on fixed mortgages again fell to their lowest levels in decades this past week, with the average interest on 15-year loans dipping to 3.57 percent from 3.63 percent a week earlier, and the average interest for 30-year loans sliding to 4.17 percent from 4.24 percent. That is the lowest since 1971. 

The impact of the favorable borrowing costs is being muted somewhat, however, by a high rate of joblessness, foreclosures, and tight credit.
