Southern Illinois mortgage rates dip below big city rates
A Southern Illinoisan survey of area banks shows Illinois lenders offering mortgage rates around 16 percent, lower than many big city banks. Banks report more loan money but fewer buyers due to fear of high costs, with shifts toward adjustable and balloon loans as long-term fixed loans fade from the market. John Becker of First Federal Savings and Loan in Sparta notes rates dropped to 16 percent and expects further declines early next year, potentially boosting prices. Delano Mowery of Anna National Bank says mortgage demand is at a historic low.
