"Mortgage rates this week registered the delayed impact of last week''s sharp drop in Treasury yields as the 30-year mortgage rate fell 12 basis points to 3.59 percent. This rate marks a new low for 2016 and matches last year''s low in February 2015. Low mortgage rates and a positive employment outlook should support a strong housing market in the second quarter of 2016."
