An upscale townhouse-condominium under construction in March 2009 in Fairfax, Virginia, was a rare glimmer of life in a regional downturn on new-home construction. Interest rates on 30-year mortgages secured through credit unions in early 2009 averaged 5% -- half a percentage point lower than rates at banks.
