Current VA Rates

By

Even has the Federal Reserve committed to keeping the interest rates low, VA lenders reported that the current VA rates were up from the November 2010 record lows.  Yes the VA rates have crept up over the last month, but the reality is that they are still available at extremely low VA interest rates. 

Many veterans fear that VA rates will rise significantly in 2011 and 2012, so the activity remains steady, as a high volume of vets have been applying for a VA refinance.  Even the home buying inquiries have risen dramatically and that is unusual for January.

Will VA Mortgage Rates Rise in 2011? Nobody really knows for sure, but since the VA rates fell to 50-year low last November, it’s more likely that the rates would rise rather than fall. 

What does this mean for you? It means that if you are eligible for a VA loan and you want to buy a home, now is the time.  Waiting for rates to get lower is silly, because if you get a loan now and the VA rates do happen to drop, then you can always take advantage of the current VA mortgage rates with the streamline refinance.
