WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Trending Up Going into 2016

WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Trending Up Going into 2016

December 2015

After some improvement in mortgage rates after the FED announcement, rates have begun to trend up.

The Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market closed last week down – 24 bps and is trading down -18 bps this week.

Currently interest rate pricing is close to the highest levels since July of 2015 and most analysts believe mortgage interest rates will rise in 2016.

Have a Happy and Safe New Years!!

WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Trending Up Going into 2016

Rates Move Up Slightly from Prior Weeks 5 Month Lows

Rates Move Up Slightly from Prior Weeks 5 Month Lows

October 2015

As is normal with interest rates, once rate pricing moves one way for an extended period of time, we will see a correction back. Rates hit 5 month lows on Friday October 2nd, but since then have steadily moved a little higher almost every day. The Mortgage Backed Security market closed 4 of the 5 days last week down, closing the week trading down – 34 bps.

Interest rate pricing is still very good, but is about .5 pts higher in pricing at the same rate then the prior week.

Not a ton of new data out this week so I expect interest rates to remain relatively stable barring an unforeseen event.

TRID mortgage regulations are now in place. Gone are the GFE and the HUD and now we have the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure. The new documents are meant to make it easier for a borrower to understand their loan. Borrowers now also have a 3 day period to review loan documents before they are legally allowed to sign.

Rates Move Up Slightly from Prior Weeks 5 Month Lows

INTEREST RATES IMPROVE 7 STRAIGHT DAYS / VOLATILITY AHEAD

INTEREST RATES IMPROVE 7 DAYS STRAIGHT / VOLATILITY AHEAD

September 3rd, 2014

I hope everyone had a happy and safe Labor Day weekend.

Interest rates improved 7 days straight with the Mortgage Backed Security market trading higher every day last week and closing + 38 bps higher on the week. Unfortunately, the MBS market sold off some on Tuesday, selling down -27 bps and taking away most of the gains from last week.

Currently 30 year fixed rates sit at 4% paying .87 points, and 4.125% paying 0 points.

This week has a lot of economic data coming out and I would recommend locking pricing before Friday.

Thursday – the European Central Bank (ECB) will meet and many hope they reveal an asset purchasing plan that will push more money into the economy.

Friday – the all important August employment report will be released.

I think rates could go a bit higher this week and there will likely be more volatility this week than normal. Even so, I don’t see huge rate swings but most likely closing costs swings at any given rate. I still see rates trading in a relatively narrow range as they have done for most of 2014.

TODAY’S MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES – 30 YEAR FIXED BACK TO 4.125%

July 21st, 2014

Interest Rate pricing moved up on my rate sheets this week even though the MBS market closed + 2 bps. Every day the MBS market closed down except Thursday, when markets reacted to the reports of a civilian plane being shot down in the Ukraine.

As has been the case for much of the past year – interest rates are staying in the same range and I expect that to continue for now. I don’t see the events in Ukraine and the Gaza strip having a huge effect on interest rates unless a conflict erupts with Russia or the Israel conflict brings in other countries from the region.

30 Year Fixed rates are now starting at 4.125% with 15 year fixed rates starting at 3.25%.

Next week many firms will be reporting their 2nd quarter earnings. June existing and new home sales reports will be released. After the dust settles, I see rates remaining in the same range at the end of next week.

30 YEAR FIXED REMAIN AT 4.125% – BIG EVENTS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY COULD CHANGE RATE DIRECTION

June 3th, 2014

Mortgage rate pricing hit their best levels in close to 12 months on Wednesday of last week. The Mortgage Backed Security Market (MBS) market started last week off trading up +43 bps – continuing the rate improvement we have seen for much of the past 4 weeks.

On Thursday the market shifted, resulting in negative trading on Thursday, Monday, and so far Tuesday. Even so, interest rates are still excellent, hovering around their lowest levels in 11 months.

This is a huge week for interest rates with a ton of manufacturing and payroll data being released. The 2 most important events are on Thursday and Friday.

– The MBS market expects the European Central Bank to announce higher bond purchasing (quantitative easing) on Thursday. When the market expects something – the event is already factored into the pricing. If the European Central Bank does not announce more bond purchasing, expect a quick market reversal.

European+Central+Bank+HQ+Frankfurt+Germany

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

– On Friday – the important May employment report is released. The last couple reports have affected mortgage pricing more by revisions to prior months numbers than the month being reported on. The employment report almost always has a large affect on mortgage rate pricing, and usually shapes what will happen in the rate market for the next month.

Payroll

 

 

 

 

 

I’m still in the camp that locking makes more sense right now, especially with rate pricing moving higher over the past 4 days.

INTEREST RATES CONTINUE TO IMPROVE – 30 YEAR FIXED DOWN TO 4.125%

INTEREST RATES CONTINUE TO IMPROVE – 30 YEAR FIXED DOWN TO 4.125%

May 27th, 2014

Mortgage interest rates continue to slowly improve – currently at their lowest levels in 11 months.

The Mortgage Backed Security market closed Monday, May 27th, trading up + 15 bps. The MBS market closed up + 30 bps last week, and up + 40 bps the week before.
There are a few main reasons that interest rates are continuing to show improvement.

The Ukraine situation is still volatile and military conflict is a possibility. Investors seek safety through US treasuries and Mortgage Backed Securities which helps improve interest rates.

Some experts believe that the stock market is trading much higher than it should based upon the actual performance of the companies. Some hold the view that a large correction could be in the future, which increases investment into US treasuries and MBS.

Lastly, it is expected that the European Central Bank will add another stimulus next week – which like the US’s Quantitative Easing – is a positive for mortgage interest rates.

All of these situations are helping rates move lower, but most experts don’t believe rates will go much lower than they are right now. The market hasn’t allowed 30 year fixed rates to drop back into the 3%’s since they rapidly moved up 12 months ago when the FED said they would likely taper their stimulus package.

So we are in high risk, low reward situation. Rates may go a little bit lower, but it’s very unlikely they will drop below 4%. Most experts believe rates are going to move higher – the question is when it will happen. With rates being at their lowest levels in 11 months, I lean towards the safe side and recommend locking.

Last week, I missed my first weekly update in quite a few years. My wife Sarah and I welcomed our 2nd child into the world – Dylan Rose Green. She was born at 12:20 AM on May 19th. She is healthy and we are truly blessed to have 2 great kids.

RATES MOVE HIGHER AFTER REPORTS OF RUSSIA / UKRAINE PEACE AGREEMENT

RATES MOVE HIGHER AFTER REPORTS OF RUSSIA / UKRAINE PEACE AGREEMENT

April 21st, 2014

Interest rates remained relatively stable for most of the week until Thursday.

On Thursday a peace accord was reported between Russia, Ukraine, the EU, and The United States. Investors have been monitoring this situation closely and once it appeared that the danger of a serious conflict had diminished, traders took money out of the safety of Bonds and Mortgage Backed Securities and into more higher risk, higher reward investments. This caused interest rate pricing to move up quite a bit on Thursday and Friday.

Putin+Horse

At the close of the week, the Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market closed down -66 basis points. On Monday, we saw a slight rebound with the MBS closing up + 12 basis points.

The Ukraine situation is worth monitoring as much of the reason interest rates are not higher than they are is due to the unrest in this region and investors wanting the safety of the bond and MBS markets.

Currently – 30 year fixed rates are available at
4.25% paying 1 point (4.45% APR), 4.5% paying 0 points (4.55% APR), and 4.625% paying $0 costs (4.625% APR) for a well qualified borrower.
15 year fixed rates are available at 3.375% paying .73 points (3.515% APR), 3.625% paying 0 points (3.63% APR), 3.75% paying $0 costs (3.75% APR).

There is not a ton of data this week so I’m hoping we will see some small price improvement in interest rate pricing.

RATES MOVE HIGHER AFTER REPORTS OF RUSSIA / UKRAINE PEACE AGREEMENT

INTEREST RATES MOVE HIGHER

INTEREST RATES MAKE MOVE HIGHER

February 18th, 2014

I hope everyone had a nice Valentine’s day and the day off for President’s day.

After steadily improving for most of 2014, mortgage interest rates finally moved higher last week. The Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market finished the week trading down -54 basis points, pushing 30 year fixed conforming rates to 4.375% costing .83 points at the end of the day on February 14th, 2014. 15 Year Fixed conforming rates did not move as much, but finished Friday at 3.375% costing .7 points.

Janet Yellen’s (the new FED Cheif) testimony last week made it very clear the FEDs outlook on the economy and Quantitative Easing moving forward. Yellen was enthusiastic about increased growth in the US economy in 2014, and mentioned that the slower growth in 2014 thus far could be a factor of the bad weather that has hurt the economy on the East coast – where a large share of the economy lives and works.

She also stated that the FED would continue to taper the stimulus QE3 and that they should be out of the market completely by the end of 2014. This is big news and likely means the FED will taper at every meeting this year until there is no more to taper. With the FED getting out of the mortgage business – the long term interest rate outlook remains one of increasing interest rates. Remember, the FED getting into the MBS market pushed rates to their historically low levels 3 years ago. With the FED getting out of the MBS market, interest rates should continue to go up.

Have a great week!!

INTEREST RATE PRICING STAYS IN NARROW RANGE

INTEREST RATE PRICING STAYS IN NARROW RANGE

February 10th, 2014

Interest rate pricing was all over the place last week.  On Monday, interest rates hit their lowest levels in about 3 months.  Interest rates went higher the rest of the week until the January employment report was released on Friday.  For the third month straight, job creation was lower than forecasts.  This would normally cause a big movement for better interest rates but the improvement wasn’t as much as expected.

Overall on the week, the Mortgage Backed Security market traded lower – 6 bps.  When the dust settled, interest rate pricing remained in a narrow range and mortgage interest rates are basically where they were at the beginning of last Monday.

In 2014, interest rates have fallen at some of the fastest levels in the past 2 years.  The main reason is usually interest rate pricing fluctuates more going up and down, but interest rates have improved for 5 week straight weeks before last week. 

There is some concern that the lower trend has come to an end with the market not moving as much as expected with a poor employment report.  It’s tough to call right now, but I see interest rates remaining fairly stable for the time being.  There is still a limit to how much interest rates can really improve with the FED tapering.  The interest rates in the low 3%’s won’t be back, but you could see interest rates going a little bit lower than today’s levels.   

This week Janet Yellen will make her first testimony to Congress.  Not much new information is expected to be deemed from this testimony, but it will be her first time before Congress as the new FED Cheif.

Have a great week!!

INTEREST RATES CREATE NEW LOWS FOR 2014!!

INTEREST RATES CREATE NEW LOWS FOR  2014

January 27th, 2014

Interest rates continued their hot streak ahead of the FED statement on Wednesday.  Mortgage interest rates pushed to new lows in 2014 with the stock markets having a big sell off and investors transferring money into safer investments.

This improvement in rates could be temporary depending on if the stock markets bounce back.  I would strongly recommend locking as these are the lowest rates I have seen in close to 2 months.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will release a statement on Wednesday that will likely have a major impact on rate pricing.  Experts are still torn on whether the FED will keep current bond purchasing levels or reduce them another 10 million.     

If the FED reduces its bond purchasing again, expect to see rates bounce back higher.  

Have a great week!!
