Low interest income may be bad for savers, but it's great for borrowers. Generally, any mortgage below 7% is worth pursuing.
There are many factors that can cause a low interest rate. One of the most common factors is a Federal Reserve Board interest rate cut. The Fed usually reduces the rate to help an ailing economy, by spurring on cash flow and buying power. Mortgage rates typically lower in anticipation of a cut.
