Dear Kathy,

Mortgage interest rates dropped again week-over-week and are now almost a full point lower than they were in November. It can be tempting for buyers to continue to 'wait it out' to see if rates move lower, but keep in mind we're heading into a traditionally strong spring buying season. Take a minute to view the local market statistics below. If you are interested in other market statistic data, I would be happy to provide you with that information.
