WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Trending Up Going into 2016

WEEKLY RATE – Fed Increases Federal Funds Rate, Mortgage Rates Improve

WEEKLY RATE – Fed Increases Federal Funds Rate, Mortgage Rates Improve

December 2015

The FED finally did it. After years of talking about it the FED raised the Federal Funds rate to .5% on Wednesday. In the days leading up to the announcement , mortgage interest rate pricing spiked in anticipation of them raising the rate. Then once the announcement happened, interest rate pricing improved the end of the day on Wednesday up through today – Monday December 21st.

Overall, the Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market ended the week closing down -29 bps but rallied up + 40 bps on Thursday and Friday.

The FED declared that their goal is to raise the Federal Funds rate to 1.4% by the end of 2016.

It’s getting to be Christmas time when a lot of traders go on vacation. When there are less traders, the market can be very volatile as a larger pool of traders typically balances out the market more.

WEEKLY RATE – Fed Increases Federal Funds Rate, Mortgage Rates Improve

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

WEEKLY RATE – Rates Improve to Lowest Levels in 5 Months

Rates Improve to Lowest Levels in 5 Months

October 2015

Interest rates had a great week last week with the Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market closing up every single day and closing the week up + 81 bps. With the improvement, interest rates are at their lowest levels in 5 months.

The week was highlighted by the September Non Farm Payroll report which came in well below expectations. Market analysts predicted job creation of 203k, but numbers were much lower at 142k. Job numbers were also adjusted down in July and August. Great news for interest rates, not great news for the economy.

On Monday, the TRID regulations finally go into effect which will affect the mortgage process with all lenders in the country. The main change is that the GFE and HUD settlement statement will be replaced by a different form highlighting rate, payment and costs. The new regulations also give a borrower 3 days to review the closing docs before signing. This will make the loan process a bit longer, but overall I feel the changes are good for the industry.

Rates Improve to Lowest levels in 5 months

Interest Rates Steady After Jobs Report

Interest Rates Steady After Jobs Report

August 2015

Interest rates had an up and down week with large swings in the Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) market in both a positive and negative direction. The MBS market closed last week trading down -2 bps, and also closed Monday down – 24 bps.

30 year fixed rates are now available at 3.99% paying .64 points (4.11% APR), and 4.125% paying 0 points (4.16% APR). 15 year fixed rates are now available at 3.125% paying 1 point (3.32% APR), and 3.375% paying 0 points (3.39% APR). **Priced with 740+ credit score, rate and term refinance at 75% LTV**

The big news last week was the Non Farm Jobs Payroll report which didn’t have much of an effect on interest rate pricing due to the numbers coming so close to investor projections. Investors predicted job creation of 223k and the report showed an increase of 215k. The slightly lower number was positive for interest rate pricing but not by much.

When publicly speaking, most members of the FED are giving the indication that the economy is close to a normal level which will likely result in the FED moving up the Federal Funds rate soon. Greece is still very important in interest rate pricing and a deal is possible with Germany’s approval and Greece following strict conditions. The date set for a possible deal is August 20th.

With recent interest rate improvement – I don’t see the benefits of floating with the risk of rates going up much more likely than interest rate pricing improving significantly.

THE RETURN OF THE NO APPRAISAL REFINANCE

With Fannie Mae’s new version of their underwriting system DU – mortgage bankers and their clients are seeing a welcome change in the return of the PIW

PIW stands for Property Inspection Waiver.

When running a Fannie Mae Approval – sometimes Fannie Mae’s system grants a PIW which allows us to complete the loan without getting an actual appraisal.  These No appraisal refinances are not for upside down homes, lower credit borrowers, cash out loans, etc.  They are typically granted when there is a decent amount of equity based on average prices in the area and they are usually granted for higher credit score borrowers.

The purpose is to allow someone that has equity and great credit to get a loan without having to physically get an appraisal. 

This is a welcome return – as it allows well qualified customers to complete a refinance without an out pocket expense and we can usually close the loan very quickly.

Rates Improve after Employment report – but then pull back

Rates slowly rise after hitting lowest levels of the year

Rates slowly rise after hitting lowest levels of the year

November 2nd, 2014

Since rates hit their lowest levels since June of 2013 two to three weeks ago, interest rates have slowly drifted higher. The Mortgage Backed Security market (MBS) closed last week trading down -17 bps, and the previous week down – 15 bps. This is a common reaction when rates go quickly one way, there is usually a pull back the other way.  Even with the rise in rates, interest rates are still lower than they have been for a long time before the recent drop.

On Friday, Japan announced a large increase in their quantitative easing program – equivalent to over 720 billion in US dollars. This caused stocks to rise, but the MBS market, which normally would be hit hard by this news, only closed down – 6 bps. This shows that the current level of mortgage interest rates is quite strong. 

Interest rates will be tested again this week. On Thursday, The European Central Bank will release a policy statement. On Friday – the US employment report will be released for October.  If you are looking for safety, I would lock rates before Thursday.

Rates slowly rise after hitting lowest levels of the year

LOCK IN AT THE LOWEST RATES SINCE JUNE OF 2013

Lock in at the Lowest Rates since June of 2013

October 14th, 2014

Interest rates continued their strong move lower last week and this Tuesday – dropping approximately .25% over the past 6 days.
The Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market closed last week trading up + 84 bps, and Tuesday trading up + 38 bps – pushing interest rates to the lowest levels we have seen since June of 2013.

Interest rates had been gradually improving and then we saw big movements lower in the past week and a half.  Typically when rates go one way for an extended period of time – they will eventually get a strong correction the other way.

My recommendation is to lock in now. You will be locking in at the lowest rates in 1 year and 3 months – not bad.

September 30th, 2014

Interest rates continued to steadily improve over the past week. The Mortgage Backed Security market (MBS) closing last week up + 35 bps, and closed Monday up + 14 bps.

The effect on interest rates is lower costs available at each rate.

30 Year Fixed rates settled in at 4.125% costing .1 points, and 15 year fixed rates remained at 3.25% with lower fees – .5 points.

The MBS and interest rate markets are still being helped by Europe’s economic situation and various geo-political concerns across the globe. On Friday – the most important economic report of all – the September non farm payroll jobs report will be released. I always recommend locking in before this is released because interest rates have the opportunity to move quickly depending on the results of job creation versus market expectations.

RATES RISE – 30 YEAR FIXED TO 4.125%

September 8th, 2014

Last week had 2 important events for interest rates.

On Thursday – the ECB announced a less than expected plan and no specifics to deal with the European Union’s problems. Mortgage backed securities sold off – and rates rose.

On Friday – the August employment report was released and non farm job creation fell well below expectations. The market estimated 225k in job growth, but the report revealed only 143k new jobs. The problem is August is notoriously bad and hard to gauge correct job creation with the amount of seasonal employment in the month. The MBS market initially went way up, but then came back to close to even with the realization that these numbers will most likely be adjusted higher with most other economic reports showing improvement.

MBS ended the week trading down – 35 bps – pushing interest rate pricing a bit higher. 30 year fixed rates are now at 4.125% paying less than a point. Most other products didn’t change much on the rate, but the closing costs are higher for each rate.

I still believe there is not much to gain by floating a rate, and locking is the better option.
