(1/13/2012) This week, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was held in Las Vegas.  For those who are unfamiliar with it, CES is a technology industry trade show and has recently been the venue to debut the next hot technology trend.  Highlights from this year’s show include ultra-thin televisions and lightweight laptops, but none of these cutting edge devices are needed to quickly find the best mortgage rates in the country.
While it might be more fun to browse these online rate tables on the newest cutting edge technology, a standard computer will be perfectly fine. Â With your internet-enabled device of choice, go to ERATE.com to check out some of the lowest mortgage rates in the nation.
In addition to being free to use, consumers can also find comfort in the fact that absolutely no personal information is needed to obtain rate information through these channels. Â Consumers only need to know the area and estimated loan amount. Â From there, these tables will retrieve rates from mortgage lenders who serve your area. Â Another convenient element on these tables is the ability to sort their results by loan characteristics such as rate, points, and estimated monthly payment.
With these simple tools, any consumer can be ahead of the curve when it comes to mortgage rates.
