Description

In today’s Daily Download episode, HW+ Managing Editor Brena Nath interviews HousingWire Mortgage Editor Ben Lane to discuss the current record low interest rates and the likelihood that rates will sink below 3% this year as the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the economy. For some background on the interview, here’s a small snippet of his article:Until about three months ago, it was basically unthinkable that interest rates would ever fall below their record low of 3.31%, which was set in November 2012. But then the coronavirus happened.And as the virus was wreaking havoc on the world and its economy, interest rates not only broke that record; they’ve since settled comfortably below the previous all-time record level and stayed under 3.3% for three straight weeks.But is it possible that interest rates are on the verge of falling to levels no one ever thought they’d see: under 3%?The Daily Download examines the most captivating articles reported from the HousingWire newsroom.
