Real Estate Outlook: Market is Stirring, an article from RealtyTimes.com, reports that affordable mortgage money is what it will take to pull the real estate market out of the woods and it could be happening soon.  According to the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, interest rates plunged last week by nearly a quarter of a point on 30-year fixed-rate money, from 5.98% to 5.74%.  There was also a big jump in new loan applications from people looking to buy houses.  They were up by almost 11% for conventional conforming loans.  Other positive signs that appeared last week include the total inventory of unsold houses dropping by 3% and new homes for sale dropping 2.1%.  It may not be the end of the down cycle as a whole, but it's certainly pointing to a more active spring season.
