On Friday my loan officers were quoting rates on 30yr fixed mortgages in the 5.5% – 6% range again… which is down more than .5% from just a couple weeks ago.  On a $200,000 house, that means a monthly payment that is more than $80 less than it was just 2 weeks before.  Or in other terms, it would be like taking $13,000 off the price of a $200,000 home.
