Rates for mortgage loans are at the lowest point since Freddie Mac began following the trends in rates 28 years ago. Falling rates are a pleasant surprise in the struggling economy, especially for potential home buyers that were shut out by inflated values during the real estate boom. Many of those consumers have decided to take advantage of the low rates for mortgage loans to purchase a home. And many current homeowners are refinancing original mortgage loans under the new interest rates. As a result of the credit crisis, however, lenders have adopted much stricter lending requirements than they had just a year ago.
