Mortgage Bond Boom Drives Rates Down

Residential mortgage bonds backed by the US government have become a safe haven for insvestors again, helping to drive mortgage rates to record lows.  The average interest on a 30 yr fixed loan fell this week to 4.58%, reports Freddie Mac.  Relatively few home owners are refinancing at the bargain rates, however, in large part because many eligible borrowers did so when rates were almost as low last year.
