Did you see those rates?

Thirty-year fixed mortgages overnight have fallen well below 6 percent.

That's a huge drop from last week, when the 30-year fixed average was 6.35 percent. As of Tuesday, Bankrate.com says the rates have fallen to 5.88 percent.

It's probably a sign of how much the market likes the Fannie and Freddie takeover.

Watch for further declines Thursday, when Freddie Mac posts the weekly average.
