Up, down and all around, mortgage rates and regulations will likely be hot topics
this year. Rates should stay low through 2015, but consumers and finance experts
believe we're at or near rate bottoms. The implication of low rates should be that
more people will be able to reach home ownership status in the coming year, but it
will be interesting to see if regulatory standards loosen up or tighten further based
on buyer demand.
