About mortgage interest rates

When I write about mortgage interest rates I like to keep it in perspective. Mortgage interest rates are lower than they were a decade ago and lower than they were before the great recession.

When my husband and I bought our first home we got a deal on a bargain basement interest rate of 8.38% with points.   However, the price of the house was about 25% of what it would be today.
