San Luis Obispo County Mortgage Rate Update- July 23, 2012

More indicators of slow economic growth last week- retail sales saw a surprising drop in June (0.5 percent), and the consumer price index remained unchanged, with declines seen in energy. Some good news in the housing market, however. Though existing home sales dropped to the years low, housing prices saw increases and housing starts rebounded 6.9 percent in June.

Rates have continued to stay at record lows this week, with some dropping even lower.
