    All I can say is wow… Ten year treasury challenging 3%. I don’t know the record but I could not find a lower yield on the 10 year. To be honest I only looked on Yahoo Finance which goes back to 1962.

    Some of the experts on the bond markets can elaborate more clearly. To put it into perspective, if we had a 10 year treasury yield like this before the credit crunch you would be able to get a 30 year fixed conforming loan at about 4.25%.

    It was below 3% in the 50’s:

    Unfortunately, no data on mortgage rates going so far back.

    If my Grandfather’s loan for his house built in the 50’s in OC was typical, then mortgage rates were much lower. His loan was at 1%.

    That’s when businesses existed to make money by helping people, not screwing them over.
