Time to get excited about real estate

Today was an exciting day for real estate. Interest rates came in below 5% today with the anticipation that it could approach 4% very soon. I did see one lender quoting a 15 year loan for less than 4.5%. If you have been thinking about refinancing your current mortgage or getting into the market and purchase a home, there is not a better time to do this than now. We have not seen rates like this for a while now, with the exceptions of a month or so ago for about 2 hours then the rates went back up. So if you were not keeping track of the rates hour by hour you missed it. If you are thinking about refinancing then I would suggest getting in touch with your lender right away as I can see the lenders getting very busy very fast. If you are looking at getting in the market and purchasing a home I would suggest that you get in with your lender and get prequalified and start looking for a home. In the Cheyenne area there is a good selection of homes available for sale so now is the time to get excited. Interest rates this low translates into more buying power for Buyers. Please don't hesitate to call me with any questions. You can reach me at 307-631-0333 or marc@cheyennehomes.com .
