"Interest rates dropped to another record low this week ... because of uncertainty around the election results," said George Ratiu, senior economist at realtor.com. Volatility surrounding the 2020 presidential election has helped push mortgage rates to their 12th record low this year, giving both homeowners and buyers a boost. Mortgage rates follow loosely the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury. For homebuyers, consistently low rates over the past several months, and the almost weekly prospect of rates falling even lower, have only fueled already strong demand. In Denver, for example, record low inventory of less than a one-month supply pushed prices to yet another record high.
