Today’s podcast discusses the recent move lower in mortgage rates and what are the limits on it going lower. Also, we discussed the current purchase application data, and it will have a similar run as it did last year when mortgage rates were falling? Remember that year-over-year data is working from extremely low comps, so try taking some of the better year-over-year data in context to the historical crash we had in sales last year. I still see people making mistakes on this.
