Incentive for Homebuyers as Long-term Mortgage Rates Fall – Sanibel Island Real Estate

July 30, 2015 by Nina Rogers

Last week the average 30 year fixed rate mortgage dropped to 4.04% from 4.09% just a week prior, giving incentive to prospective homebuyers.

With the economy’s steady recovery over the past 6 years in addition to lowered mortgage rates, home sales have increased. In June, individuals bought homes in the U.S. at the fastest rate in over eight years. The median home sales price increased 6.5% over the past year.
