    What is the historical average mortgage interest rate?

    Aug 21, 2006 by Jang Han G | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

    I'm trying to figure out whether 6% is considered low or high in general.

    The interest rate varies from time to time and place to place. There is no hard and fast rule which depict the average intrest rate on mortguage of property. I have therefore no definite answer to this question.

    Citigroup 'Defrauded' Fannie, Freddie, Whistle-Blower Claims

    23.02.12

    Feb. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Citigroup Inc., which last week admitted breaking Federal Housing Administration rules and paid a fine, also violated regulations for home loans sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, according to a whistle-blower’s complaint.

    The bank “defrauded, falsified information or misled federal government entities” by selling or securing insurance for mortgages with defects such as improper appraisals and paperwork errors and not reporting them as required, Sherry Hunt, a Citigroup quality-assurance vice president, said in her complaint, which was unsealed yesterday. It was filed under the False Claims Act in federal court in Manhattan in August.

    Current Mortgage Rates for Tuesday, February 21, 2012

    23.02.12

    The Greeks, the EU, the IMF, and the ECB have ostensibly struck a deal over the Greek debt issue.  A bailout will be provided to the Greeks, assuming that the Greeks can live up to their end of the bargain (which is comprised of austerity measures and cuts that will not be popular in Greece).  Greece is already in the midst of a depression, and new cuts aren’t going to improve matters.  Many still think that there is a substantial chance that Greece will end up having to leave the Eurozone.  At best, this deal seems to buy Greece and the Troika some time to work out a more permanent solution to this problem (assuming that one exists).
