TODAY’S RATES – 30 YEAR FIXED AT 3.625% PAYING 0 POINTS!!

30 YEAR FIXED AT 3.625% PAYING 0 POINTS!!

June 18th, 2012

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.

TODAY’S MORTGAGE RATES – MAY 29th, 2012

MORTGAGE RATES RISE – BUT COULD DROP LOWER.   

May 29th, 2012

The MBS Market closed last week trading down (-9 bps).  

After hitting all time lows the week before, mortgage rates have pulled up a bit.  This is pretty typical when mortgage pricing hits a low point.  Pricing only stays there for a day or so.  Lenders also don’t bring pricing down as much when the market improves, and lenders bring pricing up quicker when it worsens. 

Even so, mortgage rates are still unbelievably low and I am optimistic they will stay low and may even go a bit lower. 

Europe is still in a huge mess, and until that clears up, investors will continue to seek the sanctity of safe US Treasury bonds.  This helps keeps rates low and could push them lower.

Today’s Mortgage Rates

30 YEAR FIXED AT 3.625% WITH .67 POINTS

30 YEAR FIXED AT 3.625% WITH .67 POINTS

May 14th, 2012

The MBS Market closed last week trading up (+9 bps.)    

Rates continue their positive momentum as concerns continue to mount regarding Europe’s debt situation.  As I explained last week, rates and pricing are great and are equal to the lowest levels in the history of the mortgage industry.

The market seems to have hit a bottom, as lenders are not offering below a certain level on the rate and pricing even when the market improves. 

MY BEST VALUES OF THE WEEK:

30 Year Fixed at 3.625% paying .67 points

30 Year Fixed High Balance Loan at 3.875% paying .32 points

INTEREST RATES HIT BOTTOM!!

INTEREST RATES HIT BOTTOM

May 7th, 2012

The MBS Market closed last week trading up (+31 bps.)    

Even though the market continues to move higher, rates have hit a bit of a stand still.  There usually comes a point where lenders are unwilling to keep going lower on the pricing – and it appears we have hit that at least for the time being.

With the mortgage backed security market improvement – mortgage rates should price about .25% better on costs, but those gains are not being passed on. 

On the bright side, rates are right in line with their lowest levels ever.  With increased concerns regarding Europe and the US Economy, they may stay here for a while.

The best values I am seeing on the market right now are a 30 Year Fixed at 3.99% at $0 costs, and a 2.875% 7/1 ARM at 0 points.   From the eyes of a consumer, those are products I would be strongly considering.    

Below are rates available today paying a point or less:

15 year fixed: 2.875% paying .87 points, 3.125% paying 0 points

Interest Rates Hit Bottom

INTEREST RATES IMPROVE AGAIN / 30 YEAR FIXED AT 3.625%

INTEREST RATES IMPROVE AGAIN / 30 YEAR FIXED AT 3.625%

April 30th, 2012

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

Mortgage rates continue to improve as more and more investors are concerned regarding the slumping economy and the still unresolved Europe debt crisis.

30 year fixed rates are now down to 3.625% and the 30 year fixed High balance loans are down to 3.875%. This is a great time to lock. These are the lowest interest rates I have seen in a couple of months.

The Fed Meeting last week didn’t cause as much drama as some anticipated. Ben Bernanke’s statement said that the FED is still committed to keeping interest rates low through the end of 2014, and will not be doing another round of mortgage backed security purchases at this time. They kept this open ended, saying the FED will act if it was needed to help the economy.
