Metro Denver Real Estate Interest Rates At All Time Lows Again

According to The Wall Street Journal, interest rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages fell to a new record low of 3.91% for the week ending January 12th, 2012. “These data go back to 1971. A year ago, the 30-year rate was at 4.71%.” (read the article)

Do you think mortgage rates will stay this low for a long time? Do you think mortgage rates will rise? Do you think mortgage rates will fall? Please comment on this blog post and let me know what you think. I personally think that rates will remain at about this level for at least the next few months and then will begin to rise.
