There seems to be a LEAP DAY SPECIAL on mortgage interest rates -- though the rates are diving down low, as opposed to leaping up high.

The current average mortgage interest rate (on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage) is an astonishing 3.62%.  This is well below the average over the past year (3.86%) and in fact, is the lowest rate we have seen anytime in the past year!
 
Lock in your interest rate today -- and Happy Leap Year and Leap Day!
