Overnight real estate rates see
small dips 30-year fixed rate at
5.59%; 10-year Treasury yield
at 3.89% Long-term mortgage
interest rates continued their
decline Tuesday,and the
benchmark 10-year Treasury
bond yield edged up
to 3.89 percent.

To hear the national media tell it,
homebuyers are fools to buy right
now. Home prices have dropped 5
percent since October 2006.
Our economic problems aren't over,
so home prices are bound to drop
further. Why would
anyone catch that falling knife?
But there are some markets out
there that are making monkeys
out of housing
bears.
