Rates Move Up 4 of the last 5 days – FED statement on Wednesday

Rates Move Up 4 of the last 5 days – FED statement on Wednesday

September 15th, 2014

After a modest gain last Monday of + 4 bps, Interest rates went up Tuesday through Friday with the Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market ending down – 71 bps on the week.

On Monday – the market closed + 15 bps, pulling up a bit higher over the 200 day average.

The big news this week is the FED meeting and subsequent Janet Yellen press conference. There is considerable belief that the FED will change the verbiage of the official policy statement – removing the notion that the FED would not hike rates for a considerable time after their asset purchasing ends. This has caused anxiety and sell offs in the MBS market – the market most closely associated to Interest Rates.

I would highly recommend locking before Wednesday to protect yourself.

Currently rates are a bit higher but still in the general range they have maintained for most of the past year and 2 months.

MORTGAGE RATES RECOVER AFTER JOBS REPORT

MORTGAGE RATES RECOVER AFTER JOBS REPORT

August 4th, 2014

Mortgage Rates were extremely volatile last week with a lot of movement in the Mortgage Backed Security Market.

On Wednesday – mortgage interest rate pricing shot up sharply with GDP data coming in higher than expected. The MBS market ended the day trading down – 68 bps. Friday, was the important July jobs report. If non farm payroll jobs increased more than expected – we could have seen a significant move higher in interest rates. Luckily, the data came back slightly lower than expected. Market analysts expected non farm payroll jobs to increase over 233,000. The numbers came back at 209,000. The MBS closed Friday + 42 bps, recovering much of the losses from earlier in the week.

On the week, the MBS market closed -12 bps.

In the end – interest rate pricing is very similar to where we started the week. 30 year fixed mortgage rates are starting at 4.125% and 15 year fixed mortgage rates are starting at 3.25%. Interest rates have remained in a tight range for most of 2014 – and I expect that to continue this week with some possible rate improvement. We dodged a bullet with the Friday jobs report – that could have been the event that finally pushed rates higher than their current levels.

MORTGAGE RATES RECOVER AFTER JOBS REPORT

MORTGAGE RATES MOVE HIGHER – JULY INTEREST RATE SPECIAL

MORTGAGE RATES MOVE HIGHER – JULY INTEREST RATE SPECIAL

July 7th, 2014

I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of July Holiday weekend.

Interest rates went up last week with signals that we could have a higher than anticipated jobs report on Thursday. The June employment report confirmed this thinking with Non Farm job creation coming in at 288,000 over an estimated 212,000.

Luckily, the markets had already moved higher before Thursday – thus when the actual report was released we didn’t see a ton of movement higher as it was already reflected in the market.

On the week – the Mortgage Backed Security market (MBS) closed down – 65 basis points pushing rates higher than the previous week.

In an effort to have a great July volume month – my company is offering a July interest rate special. Below are the discounts that are reflected in my rate pricing today. This special has limited the movement up of our rate sheet and in some cases improved rate pricing even though the market is moving higher.

IN THE INTEREST OF HAVING A HUGE JULY, MANAGEMENT JUST LOWERED OUR RATES:

1. Conventional (50 bps)
2. High Balance Conforming (37.5bps)
3. FHA/FHA High Balance and VA/VA High Balance rates reduced by (100 bps)
4. Jumbo (25bps)

Please contact me if you would like to take advantage of the July interest rate special as it can end at any time.

Have a great week!!

MORTGAGE RATES MOVE HIGHER – JULY INTEREST RATE SPECIAL

TODAY’S INTEREST RATES / NEW .5% DOWN PAYMENT PROGRAM

TODAY’S INTEREST RATES / NEW .5% DOWN PAYMENT PROGRAM

January 6th, 2014

I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Years!!

Interest rates didn’t move much last week with the majority of traders on vacation. The MBS market closed + 18 bps, so mortgage pricing improved slightly.

On Friday, the December employment report will be released. More positive gains in employment will result in rates continuing their march higher.

My recommendation is still to lock as rates will likely continue to rise.

Have a great week!!

.5% DOWN PAYMENT PROGRAM – AVAILABLE NOW!!

This new program helps potential borrowers qualify for a new purchase home loan with as little as a .5% down payment.

The program works as follows:

96.5% LTV 1st FHA Mortgage
3% LTV 15 Year Fixed 2nd Mortgage

This is a great product for those borrowers that have decent credit and income, but don’t have the funds or gifts available for a 3.5% or 5% down payment.

Please call me for details or if I can help any of your clients with this new product.

FED TAPERS – RATES WILL GO UP IN 2014 WITH GSE FEE INCREASE

FED TAPERS – RATES WILL GO UP IN 2014 WITH GSE FEE INCREASE

December 26th, 2013

I hope everyone had a Happy and Safe Holiday!!

As many have heard by now – The FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD finally decided to taper their bond purchasing program – capping months of speculation on when the move would take place. The FED will reduce it’s bond purchasing by 10 million per month. This relatively small taper as well as the market already taking into account that a taper would happen helped rates not go through the roof. Still mortgage interest rates are much higher than most have become accustomed to and will head higher in 2014.

GSE FEE INCREASE IN 2014:

Along with more tapering likely coming from the FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD in 2014, the GSEs FANNIE MAE and FREDDIE MAC announced fee changes to lenders last week.

These fee changes will raise the rate for most borrowers .125% – .375% once they hit lender rate sheets. After announcing the Fee change, FHFA director Mel Watt pulled back the implementation, announcing a delay in the fee change until he is able to further determine if this plan of action is the best way to move forward.

So at this point, the fee changes which raises the fees FANNIE MAE and FREDDIE MAC charge lenders to buy their loans is delayed after most expected these changes to hit lender rate sheets in January 2014.

If/when these changes going into effect – they will dramatically raise rate/borrower costs for most borrowers. Loan level pricing adjustments are certain characteristics of a customer’s loan that cause the loan to be more expensive. Some of the changes announced:

– Highest qualifying credit score will now be 800, currently any borrower with a 740+ credit score will get best mortgage pricing
– Cash out loans will increase in rate/costs
– Lower credit score borrowers will increase in rate/costs
– Investment property loans will increase in rate/costs

Below is a chart of the proposed loan level pricing adjustment for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2014. Below is also a great article explaining the Fee changes:

http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/12172013_mortgage_rates_to_take_big_hit_from_fee_hikes.asp

Fannie_Mae_LLPA

So at this point these changes are delayed, but I guarantee fee increases are coming – but maybe not as drastic as the ones announced.

All signs point to higher rates in 2014.

It has been a great few years with record low mortgage interest rates. If you haven’t taken advantage, I would recommend locking in before rates continue to move higher.

Have a great week!!

FED TAPERS – RATES WILL GO UP IN 2014 WITH GSE FEE INCREASE

ALL EYES ON FED STATEMENT WEDNESDAY – 50/50 CHANCE FOR TAPERING

ALL EYES ON FED STATEMENT WEDNESDAY – 50/50 CHANCE FOR TAPERING

December 16th, 2013

All eyes are on the FED and The FOMC meeting this week. The FOMC starts their meeting on Tuesday and will release their statement at 2 pm Eastern on Wednesday.

There is more and more speculation that the FED could taper at this meeting – many experts now calling it a 50/50 proposition. Some prognosticators are actually predicting the FED to taper like the opinion below:

“We now look for the Fed to do something meaningful at the December 18 meeting,” wrote Michael Moran at Daiwa Capital Markets America in a note. “We view the announcement of a reduction in asset purchases as the most likely outcome; absent this, we expect some type guidance on the FOMC’s plans for the effort.”

If the FED tapers, the markets will also be looking at how much they will pull back on their bond purchasing budget. Any sort of taper will likely mean a large rise in rates.

With interest rates at around 4 month highs – I am still suggesting locking before the meeting. If rates drop significantly after the announcement (unlikely) – rate float downs are available when rates drop .25% with the same costs.

Have a great week!!

RATES CONTINUE MOVING HIGHER / FED MEETING NEXT WEEK

December 9th, 2013

The interest rate market had quite the week last week. Rates rose everyday from Monday through Thursday before the important November employment report. Then something weird happened.

Job creation beat their forecasts, The unemployment rate dropped .2% – this would usually cause rates to rise fast, but it didn’t. Rates actually improved a little bit on Friday and also on Monday. Still, the Mortgage Backed Security Market closed the week trading down – 69 bps, pushing rates to their highest levels in months.

With the majority of economic reports showing positive gains – more and more experts think the FED could taper their stimulus package in their meeting next week. I don’t expect rates to change much until then.

Rates are still taking on the outlook I have talked about for months – rates really have no where to go but higher. Any improvement we see is not substantial because the FED taper is looming.

Those still waiting for rates to dramatically drop will likely be waiting forever. I recommend locking on a refinance if it’s beneficial as even these higher rates likely won’t be around much longer.

INTEREST RATES TRENDING UP / MONDAY IS LAST DAY FOR HOLIDAY RATE SPECIAL

December 2nd, 2013

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! Interest rates rose for the second straight week with the Mortgage Backed Security market closing down – 39 bps.

The MBS market is currently down almost -70 bps over the past 2 weeks and interest rates are around 2 month highs. Still they are fluctuating in the same range they have for most of the past 5 months with 30 year fixed rates in the 4.125% – 4.375% range.

Over the long term, rates have been very stable and they will likely stay in a tight range unless something happens with the FED and their bond purchasing stimulus.

The FED meets again this month, but most don’t expect the FED to taper their stimulus until 2014.

HOLIDAY INTEREST RATE SPECIAL

My Holiday interest rate special ends at 4 pm Pacific on Monday. In order to get the discount, I must approve loan and order appraisal by that time.

OCTOBER EMPLOYMENT REPORT CAUSES SHARP RISE IN INTEREST RATES

OCTOBER EMPLOYMENT REPORT CAUSES SHARP RISE IN INTEREST RATES

November 11^th, 2013

Happy Veteran’s Day!! Thank you to all of our men and women who have served in the Military.

Mortgages rates ended the week sharply higher with the release of the October employment report on Friday. Non Farm job creation crushed expectations causing a sell-off in the Mortgage Backed Security market of over 100 bps.

Positive economic news from the employment report, US 3^rd quarter GDP, and ISM manufacturing is causing more pricing pressure and thoughts that the FED could taper their stimulus package sooner.

Unfortunately, the employment report usually shapes the monthly trend of interest rates. I think rates will likely slowly rise during the month of November.

I would recommend locking pricing if you are in the market for a mortgage.

FMAE CHANGES COMING THIS WEEKEND

Fannie Mae is implementing a new underwriting system this weekend. The highlights of the guideline changes are:

-No more interest only loans. I have to lock any new interest only loans by Wednesday, so if you want one – please call me asap.

-Maximum LTV going from 95% to 97%

-FMAE HARP loans no longer will require the waiting period required for Forclosures, Bankruptcies and Short sales

Make it a great week!!

OCTOBER EMPLOYMENT REPORT CAUSES SHARP RISE IN INTEREST RATES

THE FED DOES NOT TAPER , BUT RATES RISE SLIGHTLY

THE FED DOES NOT TAPER , BUT RATES RISE SLIGHTLY

November 4th, 2013

Mortgage rates ended last week slightly higher, but have improved on Monday taking some of the losses back.

On Wednesday, the FED announced that they would not taper their bond purchasing program. Most did not expect the FED to taper, so this wasn’t a huge surprise. The FED did take out some verbiage in their statement though, which caused some MBS investors to sell off. Normally we would expect rates to improve with this announcement, but that did not happen. The FED will meet again in December.

We have a big week in rate effecting news this week. The Third Quarter US GDP will be released Thursday and the October 2013 Employment report will come out Friday. The employment report will be very important for the direction of interest rates over the next month. If job creation is lower than expected, rates will improve. If job creation is above expectations, expect rates to rise.

Make it a great week!!
