Des Moines Real Estate Week In Review Ending August 5th, 2011

Wow.. what a ride this week on Wall Street!  Mortgage Interest rates plummeted as a result.  The last time we saw 4% 30 Year Fixed Rate mortgages was in November of last year.  How long will it last?  I wouldn’t count on it for very long… The United States today lost their AAA credit rating and many are predicting that rates will rise quickly in the coming weeks and months.
