Weekly Rate – Rates Slowly Rising as the Stock Market Rebounds

WEEKLY RATE – Rates Slowly Rising as the Stock Market Rebounds

March 2016

Interest rate pricing has been slowly rising. 

The stock market had one of it’s worst starts to a year ever in 2016.  This pushes investors into safer bonds and mortgage backed securities which improves interest rate pricing.

This pushed rates to about 3 year lows in mid February.

Since then, the stock market has slowly started to improve and interest rate pricing is rising as a result. 

Interest rate pricing is still just above 3 year lows and now is still a good time to lock.  With that being said, rate pricing is definitely trending up at the moment.

Weekly Rate – Rates Rising as The Stock Market Rebounds

Interest Rates Improve Last Week , Lose Gains on Monday

Interest Rates Improve Last Week , Lose Gains on Monday

June 2015

Interest rates improved to 3 week lows on Friday with the Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market closing up + 68 bps on the week. Unfortunately all those gains were erased on Monday with the MBS market closing down – 59 bps on Monday and trading lower on Tuesday as well.

This is the theme of this volatile market – if you like a rate don’t wait to lock it. The pricing can change by thousands of dollars in one day.

Interest rates were improving due to investors fear of Greek debt default. Over the weekend, progress towards a new deal for Greece to pay back debt caused the MBS market to spike on Monday. May’s existing home sales also beat expectations up 5.1% versus an expected 4%. If a Greek deal gets done – rates will continue to rise. I would highly recommend locking in this market.

30 year fixed rates are now available at 4.125% paying .14 points (4.15% APR), and 4.25% paying 0 points (4.27% APR). 15 year fixed rates are now available at 3.25% paying .61 points (3.37% APR), and 3.375% paying 0 points (3.4% APR). **Priced with 740+ credit score, rate and term refinance at 75% LTV**

INTEREST RATES HIT MULTI YEAR HIGHS – WITH NO SIGNS OF STOPPING

INTEREST RATES HIT MULTI YEAR HIGHS – WITH NO SIGNS OF STOPPING

June 24th, 2013

Last week was the single worst week for interest rates that I can remember (I have been doing mortgages for 10 years). As expected and stated in last week’s update – the FED’s statement on Wednesday would bring about volatility in the market and it certainly did.

Ben Bernanke and the FED maintained that they would scale back the stimulus and bond purchasing plan. The mortgage backed security and stock markets plummeted. The MBS market closed the week trading down -314 bps.  When the dust had settled, 30 year fixed rates were .625% higher than they were at the end of trading on Friday.

The interest rates people have been accustomed to for the past couple years are gone and they are not coming back. I have warned about this for the past year – when the FED leaves the bond purchasing market – rates will go higher, quickly. The FED has basically kept rates lower than they should be for 2.5 years.

On the bright side – interest rates are historically still very good, but I do expect them to continue to rise.

If you can benefit from refinancing – I wouldn’t wait or spend a week shopping. Rates have been moving up so quickly that shoppers are losing a ton more in daily rate hikes than actually finding a better deal. Even if the savings are not unbelievable, this may be your last chance to lower your rate and payment for the life of your loan.

My recommendation is to lock in if you are currently floating.

Make it a great week!!

INTEREST RATES CONTINUE TO IMPROVE – LAST WEEK TO START A FHA LOAN BEFORE MI RATES GO UP

INTEREST RATES CONTINUE TO IMPROVE – LAST WEEK TO START A FHA LOAN BEFORE MI RATES GO UP

March 25th, 2013

Interest rates continued positive momentum last week.  The Mortgage Backed Security market traded up 4 of the 5 days closing the week up (+16 bps).  The one day that held interest rates from going much lower was Wednesday when the Fed stated that they would try to keep bank interest rates low through 2015.  This resulted in positive momentum in the stock market and a sell off in the MBS market. 

Many economic reports will be released this week, but the most important interest rate event is the financial crisis in Cyprus.  Investors are concerned that a financial collapse in the country could cause further unrest in the European Union. 

If Cyprus is able to get financial aid and remain in the European Union – expect to see interest rates go up.  If not, more uncertainty will result in investors seeking safety and interest rates dropping.

This is absolutely the last week that borrowers can take advantage of current FHA MI guidelines.  FHA will raise mortgage insurance rates and make them for the life of the loan on Monday.  In order to avoid this increase, you need to get your FHA case number pulled by Friday.  Please call me if you would like to take advantage of current FHA MI guidelines before they go up.

Make it a great week!!

FIXED INTEREST RATES CLOSE WEEK AT MULTI-MONTH HIGH – ARMS STILL PRICING GREAT

FIXED INTEREST RATES CLOSE WEEK AT MULTI-MONTH HIGH  –  ARMS STILL PRICING GREAT.

March 10th, 2013

Interest rates rose every day last week – and the rate markets look increasingly bearish moving forward.

The Mortgage Backed Security market closed last week (-85 bps).  The week was capped by a better than expected February unemployment report with unemployment dropping from 7.9% to 7.7%.  Non farm jobs increased 236,000 and private jobs increased 246,000.

The stock markets are up in the US, Europe and Asia.  Though the stock market seems prime for a pullback, the biggest concern to interest rates going forward is if the FED decides to stop purchasing mortgage backed securities sooner than expected.  The more positive news coming out – the increasing likelihood that the FED will eventually stop keeping interest rates artificially low.

Although fixed rates have went up, ARM rates are still pricing great.  I think a 7/1 ARM is a great product, and something to consider in this market.  The rate doesn’t adjust for 7 years, and the rate can never go 5% above the start rate – and it is unlikely the rate would go that high.

We could see some improvement in interest rates this week, but the long term outlook still looks bleak.  I recommend locking rates on any improvement in the rate markets this week.

I am going to Moab, Utah for a half marathon on Wednesday.  If you would like to get approved or lock in a loan this week, please try to get a hold of me early in the week. 

Make it a great week!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS – 30 YEAR FIXED RATES REMAIN AT 3.375%

MERRY CHRISTMAS  –  30 YEAR FIXED RATES REMAIN AT 3.375%

December 26th, 2012

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!

Interest rates did not change much over the past week.  The mortgage backed security market closed last week trading down (-3 bps). This week the MBS market is trading up (+6 bps). 

All eyes remain on the fiscal cliff negotiations.  We are getting down to the deadline and the sides still appear to be very far apart.  Congress will reconvene on Thursday and the President will be back from Hawaii on Thursday.

Some insiders still believe a deal will get done, while others are more pessimistic.  Some think that going over the cliff will cause serious economic repercussions, some don’t.  So you are seeing conflicting points of view on all angles of the fiscal cliff.

Going over the fiscal cliff will cause taxes to go up for all Americans, but many believe a tax deal will get done before the new tables are released even if a Fiscal Cliff deal does not get done.  The market is most concerned with the tax rates, as more taxes equals less disposable income to spend on goods and services.   Unfortunately, it appears likely that the issue of deficit reduction and spending cuts will get kicked down the road. 

My personal belief is:

If the Fiscal Cliff or Tax deal get done, rates will go up slightly.

If they don’t, rates will go down slightly.

In other news, the Senate will be introducing bill S3678 this week.  This bill will be voted on before the end of the year.  If it passes, FHA will raise Mortgage insurance premiums again.  The rumored changes are:

FHA raising monthly mortgage insurance premiums .1%

FHA monthly mortgage insurance premiums to continue for life  

If you are planning to start a new FHA loan, or streamline your existing FHA loan – I wouldn’t wait. 

Have a great week!!

INTEREST RATES VERY VOLATILE IN WAKE OF FISCAL CLIFF

INTEREST RATES VERY VOLATILE IN WAKE OF FISCAL CLIFF

November 14th, 2012

Interest rates have seen quite the see-saw action over the past week. Interest went up quite a bit on election day. Then dropped quite a bit after the election when the stock market dropped off.

Overall, last week interest rates improved – with the MBS market closing at (+ 47 bps).

This week has been a different story so far. The MBS market is trading (- 57 bps) for the week, pushing rates to the level we saw the week before the election.

Expect volatility in the markets right now. There is still the looming question of what Congress and the President are going to do regarding the fiscal cliff. It would be political suicide for this deal not to get done, so I definitely don’t see a compromise not being made. The question is – what will the compromise be?

I still see rates staying very similar to their current levels, but we could see quite a bit of closing cost variation on a daily basis depending on the market that day.

MORTGAGE RATES INCH HIGHER – 30 YEAR FIXED TO 3.375%

MORTGAGE RATES INCH HIGHER – 30 YEAR FIXED TO 3.375%

October 8th, 2012

Last week the mortgage backed security market told 2 stories. 

The MBS market closed (+ 50 bps) from Monday to Tuesday.  This continued the trend of rates dropping since the FED announced QE3.  But every positive interest rate streak will eventually end and pull back the other way.

From Wednesday to Friday, the MBS market closed down (– 84 bps), finishing the week (– 34 bps). 

The week was capped off with the September unemployment rate dropping from 8.1% to 7.8% with 114,000 new jobs created.  There was a lot of controversy regarding the validity of the report – but either way the MBS market had a mini sell off and closed the week down. 

Mortgage rates are still very low, but a bit higher than their previous lows.  The bond market is closed Monday due to Columbus Day. 

I don’t expect a ton of rate movement next week, but I do think rates may improve a bit, taking back some of the losses of last week.

Keep in mind most news websites/channels report when rates drop but not so much when they rise.  Rates are always fluctuating until a loan is locked.

My best value of the week:

The Fannie Mae guaranteed fee increase isn’t in all lender’s rate pricing yet.  Rates this low usually don’t last long.  This is a great opportunity to take advantage of once in a lifetime low rates.

MORTGAGE RATES SURPASS ALL TIME LOWS WITH THE FED’S 40 BILLION BOND PURCHASE ANNOUNCEMENT

MORTGAGE RATES SURPASS ALL TIME LOWS WITH THE FED’S 40 BILLION BOND PURCHASE ANNOUNCEMENT:

September 17th, 2012

The MBS market closed last week trading up (+ 28 bps).

The big news happened on Thursday when the FED announced they would purchase 40 Billion in Mortgage Backed Securities per month until the economy improves.  This sent the MBS market way up, and mortgage pricing to all time low levels.   The MBS market ended up closing + 134 bps on Thursday alone.  On Friday and Monday, the Mbs market gave some gains back, closing – 62 bps on Friday, and – 3 bps on Monday.

The elephant in the room is still the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guaranteed fee increase.  These will be hitting all rate sheets very soon.  As a direct lender, my bank has 8 big banks that provide us credit lines in which to fund loans.  All but 2 have increased pricing due to the Fannie Mae pricing announcement.  The others could happen at any time.  That is why I am recommending locking loans as soon as possible to take advantage of where current pricing is before the pricing goes up on all rate sheets. 

The risk of waiting is not worth the reward at this point as the market will have to improve by .5 to .625% in costs just to take back the losses as a result of the Guaranteed Fee increase when it goes into effect.
