Long term and short term California mortgage rates are currently on a downward trend. The California mortgage market is dominated by 30 year, 40 year and 50 year fixed rate loans and alternative products like Option ARMs and interest-only loans.

Florida mortgage current trends reflect the nationwide fall in fixed rate mortgages and 1 year ARMs. The subprime market is in trouble whereas the housing market has tried to remain steady with inflation.
