Mortgage interest rates in the United States fell for the second week in a row as more home buyers, especially those in Bend ventured out to start searching for homes once again.
Thanks to recent statistics from Freddie Mac we know that the mortgage interest rate for a 30-year fixed loan fell to 4.27 percent recently and the mortgage interest rate for a 15-year fixed mortgage loan is now at 3.33 percent.
