September 8, 2008 · Leave a Comment

In case you have not heard ha ha – big news in the mortgage industry…  It was announced that the government is bailing out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  I’m including links to a couple of articles that provide great info, but the bottom line of how this affects all of us right now is that mortgage rates took quite a tumble today!  We are seeing about a .375% drop in many programs.  This is great news!!
