The United States is at another economic downfall as reports on consumer spending have revealed low numbers. As we well know, when the economy goes down, so does everything else, including the housing market. Since real estate prices are dipping again, then that also means mortgage rates are also falling. This could be a good opportunity for refinancing, or even for getting a new mortgage for savvy real estate investors and home buyers.
