Interest Rates as Low as 4.375%

Interest rates as low as 4.375% have been announced by several of McArthur Homes' preferred lenders, but will they stay this low for long? Here's what Pierre Alley had to say about current interest rates:

Okay, so everyone was holding their breath anticipating where LeBron James would end up playing basketball. This topic has been discussed for months. But, the more important question for all of us is have we seen the bottom for interest rates? My guess is YES. The week started out with the European Banks showing a stronger position. French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde stated that after “stress” tests, European Banks are “solid and healthy. You may recall after the U.S. Banks went through their tests, the positive results helped boost stocks nearly 40%. A jump in our stock prices will most likely cause bond prices to fall. Claims for unemployment benefits were lower this week as well. Bonds have been priced for perfection and so any misstep in economic news provides a good reason to take out profits, which we have seen the last couple of days. I believe bonds have been overbought and so there could be a dark cloud hovering in the near future. This morning an executive board member on the European Central Bank stated, “the worst of the sovereign debt crisis seems to be over.” The jury is still out as Italy might be the next country to reveal debt problems. But for now enjoy these historic low interest rates.
