RATES REMAIN NEAR RECORD LOWS

RATES REMAIN NEAR RECORD LOWS

June 26th, 2012

The MBS Market closed last week trading down (- 22 bps).

Mortgage rates increased last week, but rebounded Monday with the bond market closing up +31 bps, taking back the losses from the previous week and then some.

The Federal Open Market Committee on Wednesday issued a statement that they would continue “Operation Twist”, but would not issue a new round of buying mortgage backed securities. This shot the Mortgage Backed security market down, as many expected the FED to take more action.

The markets are still closely tied with Europe. Thursday begins another European Summit that is unlikely to yield any significant results. As long as Europe continues to drag down the world economy, mortgage rates will likely stay low.

NOTE: The rates quoted below are a picture in time. Rates and pricing change every single business day. Also the rate and pricing an individual will qualify for can be different based upon credit scores, loan to value, etc.

The MBS Market closed last week trading up (+ 16 bps).

Mortgage rates improved again – and are back to all time low levels.

Over the weekend, Greece held their elections and the party that wants to stay in the European Union won. There was not a ton of market movement on Monday because of this – right now the MBS market is trading up +7 bps.

The big thing to pay attention to this week is the FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC) meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday and their statement release on Wednesday. Many industry experts predict they may extend purchasing mortgage backed securities in another set of Quantitative Easing. If they do, mortgage rates usually will go lower. If they don’t, mortgage rates will likely move higher. If you don’t want to risk it, we can lock your loan and offer a float down if rates get better after we lock.

My best value of the week:

30 Year Fixed at 3.625% paying 0 points.

MORTGAGE RATES REMAIN NEAR RECORD LOW LEVELS

MORTGAGE RATES REMAIN NEAR RECORD LOW LEVELS

June 11^th, 2012

The MBS Market closed last week trading down (-37 bps), but closed Monday (+25 bps).

Overall rates are very similar to the record low rates hit last Friday.

Over the weekend, Spain agreed on a 125 billion bailout. Spain is the 4^th of 17 countries in the European currency union to need a bail out. This move pushed stocks down on Monday demonstrating that investors are still very concerned regarding this ongoing crisis.

Some think that Italy may need a bail out next. Greece will be voting next Sunday to form a new government. This ongoing chaos in Europe is bad for the stock markets, but good for interest rates.

I feel that these low rates should be available this whole week and don’t see them going up much until there is some improvement in the European debt situation.

Below are rates available today paying a point or less:

30 year fixed: 3.5% paying .78 point, 3.75% paying 0 points

MORTGAGE RATES REMAIN NEAR RECORD LOW LEVELS

MORTGAGE RATES SURPASS RECORD LOWS, AGAIN!!!

MORTGAGE RATES SURPASS RECORD LOWS, AGAIN!!!

June 4^th, 2012

The MBS Market closed last week trading up (+ 100 bps)!!

Mortgage Rates positive momentum started with great pricing improvement near the latter half of the week. The stock market was hit hard last week, culminating in a poor jobs report on Friday that pushed rates below another record.

That being said, when mortgage rates hit a low point, they usually only stay there for a day or two tops. I expect rates to increase this week, but not by much.

This is the best time in the history of the mortgage industry to take advantage of low rates either by refinancing or purchasing a new home. Please call me or fill out the quote questions below for an up to date quote.

My best values for the week:

30 Year Fixed at 3.625% paying less than .2 points.
