By Scott Rogers • April 20, 2013
March 2008 Annualized Median Sales Price = $197,000 March 2013 Annualized Median Sales Price = $175,000 March 2008 Average 30-Year Fixed Mortgage Interest Rate = 5.97% March 2013 Average 30-Year Fixed Mortgage Interest Rate = 3.57% The graph above shows the impact of combining low home prices and ultra low mortgage interest rates by analyzing the monthly payment (principal + interest) assuming 80% financing of the median sales price at the average mortgage interest rate. As you can see, this monthly payment would have been $942 back in March 2008, and is only $634 today. Today's low housing prices and historically low mortgage interest rates provide unique opportunities for home buyers!
