In the past I have been doing weekly posts with updated current mortgage rates based upon national data from either Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or the Mortgage Bankers Association. However, just like real estate, mortgage rates are “local” to some extent and do vary in different markets.
In an effort to help people in the St. Louis metro area get a more accurate picture of what mortgage interest rates are doing here, not to mention data that is accurate up to the minute I publish rather than delayed several days or a week as the national data is, I wanted to find a local source for timely, accurate rate information and have done just that.
Beginning today I will be publishing weekly updates on LOCAL St. Louis mortgage rates provided by Paramount Mortgage Company here in St. Louis. If you have been visiting this blog for a while Paramount may sound familiar as I did an e-view here with John Frank, the company’s founder, a while back.
