History of rates for the past 20 years

We have compiled a list of what the rates have done for the past 20 years. You can see the fluctuation in the rates throughout the years. It is not possible to predict what the rates will be in the long term, but it is possible to look at various indicators to help determine what they may do in the short term. Even with these indicators, it is not possible to predict which way the rates will go with 100% accuracy. However, if you would like to speak with someone who studies the rates on a daily basis and analyzes the indicators, you may call 800-930-9201.

"James Chapman was more than helpful in securing our loan. He was very knowledgeable and an excellent source for any questions we had. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a loan officer who knows what they are doing. My experience with James was one that I will use to compare all future transactions. James took time out of his day to make sure that we completely understood everything."
