INTEREST RATES DROP TO LOWEST LEVELS OF 2013
January 14th, 2012
Interest rates hit their lowest levels of 2013 on Monday.
Mortgages rates improved and recovered some of their losses over the last week. The Mortgage Backed Security market closed up (+ 6 bps) last week, and up (+ 13 bps) on Monday.
The improvement was mainly due to a pull back of what I consider to be an overreaction by the market to December’s Fed minutes.
There is quite a few retail and housing reports due out this week along with Congress continuing the debt ceiling debate.
My recommendation is to lock if you are currently considering a loan. The MBS market is bearish and many investors in mortgage backed securities aren’t making money due to the amount of repeat refinances.
Have a great week and please call me if you would like to get a quote or have any questions about qualifying for a new loan.
