By low interest rates, do you mean Federal Funds, or the bond market?

My impression is that mortgage rates tend to track the 10 year bond rate, given most people refi/sell before then. These and long term rates have been on a multi-decade decline. I'm not sure how much influence recent policy has had.



Federal GSEs (Fannie, Freddie, FHA) and the Federal Reserve's QE activities (artificially propping up housing).
