Inman News reports that mortgage rates tracked in Freddie Mac's weekly rate survey hit record lows for the second time in a week. With rates so low, coupled with a typical summer slump in the housing market, this is the perfect opportunity for buyers to afford more house for less money. Many buyers are so fixated on the prices of the houses that they don't recognize that the affordability of their home is even more driven by the interest rates they are paying on their mortgage.
