RATES MOVE SLIGHTLY HIGHER AGAIN ; FED CHIEF TESTIFYING THIS WEEK

Rates move slightly higher again ; FED Chief testifying this week

February 23rd, 2015

Interest rates moved slightly higher last week for the 3rd week in a row. The Mortgage Backed Security Market (MBS) closed down – 40 bps for the week, but we have seen some improvement on Monday with the MBS market trading up + 17 bps.

30 year fixed rates are now available at 3.75% paying .5 points (3.875% APR), and 3.875% paying 0 points (3.9% APR). 15 year fixed rates are now available at 2.99% paying .68 points (3.126% APR), and 3.125% paying 0 points (3.2% APR).

This week – most investors continue to watch Europe closely and the situation between the EU and Greece. Greece already failed to make their 1st commitment in their bailout extension on Monday.

In domestic news – The FED Chief Janet Yellen will testify before Congress on Tuesday and Wednesday. This testimony has been known to move interest rates.

I’m still in a lock now recommendation. I don’t think the risk is worth the reward to float.

Interest Rates Rise for 2nd Week in a Row

Interest rates moved slightly higher again last week with the Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market trading down -32 bps for the week.

**Quotes are based on 740+ credit, 75% LTV or lower, 250k loan amount. Pricing is constantly changing based on daily interest rate market activity.

There is still anxiety about the meeting between Greece and the ECB among investors. Most people I follow say the risk in floating is not worth the reward. I recommend locking at this time.

Interest Rates Rise for 2nd Week in a Row

Rates Rise with January Employment Report

Rates Rise with January Employment Report

February 11th, 2015

Interest rates have moved up about .125% in the past week – largely due to a mortgage backed security sell off on Friday after the January employment report was released.
The strong job creation numbers had investors move their money from bonds into stocks and interest rate pricing suffered as a consequence.

30 year fixed rates are now available at 3.625% paying .9 points (3.80% APR), and 3.875% paying 0 points (3.9% APR). 15 year fixed rates are now available at 2.875% paying .96 points (3.07% APR), and 3.125% paying 0 points (3.2% APR). (for well qualified borrowers – 740+ credit score, 75% LTV or less)

Overall – concern over Greece and the employment numbers are weighing on interest rates and most experts I follow recommend locking over floating.

Rates Improve Again , Employment Report this Friday

February 2nd, 2015

Interest rates improved by about .375 bps in costs at each rate last week. The Mortgage Backed Security market closed the week trading up + 70 bps, highlighted by Friday’s rate improvement of +46 bps.

Interest rates are currently at their lowest levels since May of 2013.

30 year fixed rates are now available at 3.5% paying .63 points (3.626% APR), and 3.625% paying 0 points (3.7% APR). 15 year fixed rates are now available at 2.75% paying 1 point (2.95% APR), and 2.99% paying 0 points (3.129% APR).

The January employment report is released this Friday. This report usually has the largest effect on interest rate pricing and typically points the direction where rates will go for the next month.

If you don’t want to deal with uncertainty – I would lock in before Friday.
