Rochester Mortgage Rates Remain Stable

We've seen no changes in the Rochester area mortgage rates. Hopefully that means no more increases and maybe some reductions in Rochester Mortgage Rates. The current Rochester Mortgage Rates are:

30 year - 0.0 points - 5.75%
30 year - 1.75 points - 5.25%

25 year - 0.0 points - 5.75%
25 year - 1.75 points - 5.25%

20 year - 0.0 points - 5.75%
20 year - 1.125 points - 5.375%

15 year - 0.0 points - 5.0%
15 year - 1.5 points - 4.625%

10 year - 0.0 points - 4.75%
10 year - 1.5 points - 4.375%

Even though the mortgage rates are a little higher than they've been in the last few months they are still extremely low compared to historical averages. It is still a great time to purchase a home, especially when you consider the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. Homes in Rochester are very affordable. There is very little reason to continue renting.

Rochester Red Wings and Father's Day

This is the 4th year in a row that we've gone to Frontier Field to watch the Rochester Red Wings play on Father's day. It's quickly becoming a family tradition.

Because the weather here has been awful and last nights game was rained out we got the treat of a double header. I never knew it, but when they play a double header they only play 7 innings in each game. It was a little weird doing the seventh inning stretch in the 5th inning.

Red Osier sandwiches, Scotch Ale, peanuts and baseball. What could be more American?
