These near record low mortgage rates are helping to put a bottom in housing prices. In all but three census regions of the country housing prices have actually increased last month.

In New England housing prices rose 2.2 percent, which includes Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. In the Pacific region housing prices rose 3.8 percent. The Pacific region includes, Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California.

Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist said "Although long-term mortgage rates eased slightly this week, ARM rates remain elevated relative to those fixed-rate mortgages. For instance, interest rates for 1-year ARMs exceeded those for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages over the last two weeks, this is the first time this has happened since Freddie Mac began collecting data for ARMs in January 1984."
