One-year Treasury-indexed ARMs: averaged 5.24 percent this week up from last week when it was 5.15 percent. At this time last year, the 1-year ARM averaged 5.43 percent
Can this low change year over year change the situation. i dont think so.....will the govt ask Freddie MAc to become the lender of last resort and buy all this bad paper that will not be helped by such small changes in the mortgage rates. If they can socialize the investment banker problem, then they should be able to help out the home owner.
