Last Thursday, long-term interest rates fell below 3 percent, a milestone that was unthinkable 12 months ago.

In reality, long-term rates have been dropping for almost the last two years. Below, UrbanTurf has created a brief timeline illustrating the trajectory. Tune in Thursday around 10am to see if rates are going to go even lower.
