Real estate agents say would-be homebuyers in some parts of the country are starting to overcome the obstacles caused by COVID-19 and are going virtual house hunting to take advantage of today's bargain mortgage rates and the low monthly house payments they provide.
Here's how that works in North Dakota: Let's say you want to buy a mid-priced home using a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at the current average interest, which is a low 3.33%, according to mortgage company Freddie Mac.
A 30-year mortgage for a $271,374 home at 3.33% would give a typical North Dakota homebuyer a monthly payment of $954, assuming a 20% down payment.
