It's the same old question. Have we finally hit rock bottom? Well—according to some good news out today from Bankrate.com—you get the feeling that we may have actually turned a small corner.

As of today, the jumbo mortgage rate is down to 6.59%. That’s good news for most of us hungry for any shred of improvement in the industry.

Plus—yesterday, Countrywide announced news that it’s creating new programs to help bale out those borrowers who got something for nothing. In fact, they’ve created a ‘special unit’ of 2,700 employees to play nursemaid to these borrowers. So—it looks like we’re finally starting to clean up the mess.

But with more than 1.5 million mortgages resetting by 2008, we’ve got a long haul ahead of us. Just how special are those 'special units' anyway? Still—any sign is a good sign. I’ll take what I can get.
