MORTGAGE RATES RISE – FANNIE MAE PRICING INCREASES NOW IN EFFECT.

January 23rd, 2012

The MBS Market closed last week trading down (- 56 bps).  The stock market was up for most of the week, which saw investors pull money out of bonds and into stocks – pushing mortgage pricing up.

If you have read my last few mortgage updates, I have said that Fannie Mae pricing hits were coming.  In order for the US government to pay for unemployment taxes, Social Security, etc – they have increased Fannie Mae’s guaranteed fees.  These fees are being charged to lenders which must pass them onto borrowers.  This is increasing mortgage pricing by approximate .4 – .6 pts on each rate or approximately .125% higher on the rate for the same costs.

I am going out of town on Wednesday January 25th to Telluride, Colorado, for a nice quick vacation.  If you would like to lock in pricing on a new loan, please contact me by Tuesday January 24th.  I will be back on Monday, January 30th.    

Below are rates available today paying a point or less:

30 year fixed: 3.99% paying .68 points, 4.125% paying 0 points

20 year fixed: 3.75% paying .73 points, 4% paying 0 points
