Rates Trend Lower before FED Announcement on Wednesday
March 16th, 2015
Interest rates had a great week last week with the Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market closing the week trading up + 79 bps. The market also closed up on Monday March 16th +19 bps. This was welcome news for interest rates after their rapid rise following the February employment report.
30 year fixed rates are now available at 3.75% paying .71 points (3.89% APR), and 3.99% paying 0 points (4.01% APR). 15 year fixed rates are now available at 2.99% paying .77 points (3.14% APR), and 3.25% paying 0 points (3.27% APR). **Priced with 740+ credit score, rate and term refinance at 75% LTV**
The big news this week is the FOMC meetings and statement on Wednesday. Investors are expecting more clarity on the FED’s long term plan with the Federal Funds rate. Although not directly tied to mortgage interest rates – the FED’s long term outlook on whether to raise the Federal Funds rate will have an impact on Mortgage Backed Securities and mortgage interest rate pricing. If you don’t like volatility – I would lock before Wednesday.
