Interest Rates at 12-Month Lows

Interest rates for mortgages are now around the low 4% range for a 30-year fixed loan.

There’s a general rule of thumb for interest rates that goes like this: for every 1% change in interest rates, you gain or lose 10% buying power. So if you were pre-approved to buy a $500,000 house a few months ago when rates were around 4.5%, you might now be able to afford a $525,000 house (5% more buying power).

It’s also a good time to refinance into a lower rate, which could save you tens of thousands of dollars in the long term.
