For Most Buyers, the Mortgage Market Is Healthy

The widespread notion that the entire mortgage market is in crisis is just plain wrong, say lenders in various parts of the country. The majority of mortgage products have been unaffected by troubles in the subprime segment. Interest rates for 30-year, fixed-rated loans remain in the low 6 percent range for people with reasonably good, though not necessarily perfect, credit records, according Kenneth R. Harney, managing director of the National Real Estate Development Center and syndicated columnist. Source: The Washington Post Writers Group, Kenneth R. Harney (09/29/2007)
