Interest Rates

| January 1, 2010 | Core Information | No Comments

Current interest rates being offered to Veterans for home financing are near historic lows. In fact, in June 2010, interest rates were at their lowest level since the 1950’s!

Low rates combined with affordable homes mean it is a buyer’s market and the opportunity to purchase your home is here. And because you are a Veteran, or currently serving in the military, you are eligible for great programs like CalVet and VA Home Loans.

Both programs are structured to provide the Veteran with additional benefits on 30 year terms with low rates, which translates to a lower monthly mortgage payment for you.
