Monday Morning Links

Good morning everyone! Happy holidays to all.
The big news in the market of late is the big move in mortgage rates. They are dropping like a rock with some 30 year conventional rates quoted as low as 4.5%. As the third link below points out, the number should be even lower. A more traditional spread would have rates at 4%. However, it's hard to complain, and the rush is on to refinance. It would be hard to see rates get much lower.
