May 2018 – Team Green’s Newsletter
MAY 2018
Interest rates moved up some in April after staying stable for the majority of March.
We discuss these topics and more in Team Green’s May Newsletter. Have a fantastic May!!
MY FAMILY:
We’re really trying to enjoy the weather before it gets scorching here in Arizona.
Lots of playing outside along with my son playing baseball 3 times a week.
I’m lucky that I live a mile from my office so I’ve been skateboarding to work when I don’t need my car for meetings.
Life is pretty good.
My wife got to enjoy 2 weekend girlfriend trips this month to Dallas and Austin – She’s so lucky J
While I also made a quick trip to Salt Lake City for a Manager’s meeting and the last snow board ride of the year.
We also got to enjoy a Gatbsy party for a family member’s birthday.
It was fun getting dressed up 20’s style and my wife looked smoking hot!!
MY WORK FAMILY:
We decided to throw a Country themed week at our branch in April.
The goal was to listen to Country music all day and have some fun with some songs, our dress, dances, and skits.
We accomplished our goal – check out some of our videos below.
I’ve always liked seeing funny chalk board signs in front of bars and restaurants.
I liked them so much, I decided to get one of our own and we’ve been having some fun with that too.
Lastly, we are hiring – if you know anyone looking to be a part of a great culture and team, please have them give me a call.
Have a fantastic May!!

TODAY’S INTEREST RATES:
Mortgage rates slowly climbed higher in April after staying relatively stable during the end of February and through out March.
This broader trend is likely to continue which makes waiting to buy or finance a home very costly.
In the Phoenix market – we are seeing a combination of higher interest rates and home appreciation due to low inventory and high demand.
This is a double hit against people entering the home buying market as their payment is going up in 2 ways.
The chart below is a good indication of why we are urging buyers to not wait if they really plan on buying.
**The rates are a bit old but this does give a good illustration of the cost of waiting**

HEART OF SCOTTSDALE RMS HOME TOUR – NOVEMBER 2ND
TEXT SIGNATURES – An Effective way to brand yourself to potential clients.
TEXT SIGNATURES – An Effective way to brand yourself to potential clients.
I came up in the mortgage business as a lead caller, meaning I was calling potential clients 4+ hours a day and a lot of other lenders were doing the same. I was always looking for ways I could make myself stand out over the competition.
Text signatures are an effective way to get a face and brand out to potential clients.
With texts becoming an increasingly popular way to communicate, I found some of my best initial conversations were done by text. By reaching out to a client by text and adding my picture and branding, it allowed me to put a face and company to the person the potential client was texting with.
The process is easy. Send your text. Immediately afterwords, send your picture text signature and it reads like an email signature would.
If you want us to create one for you, just reach out to me. This is just another way to help you stand out and get your branding to potential clients.
We are one of the few lenders out there that consistently creates consumer direct business through our markeing. I closed over 45 million dollars last year strictly from my own marketing, databasing, social media, blogging, and email newsletters.
Call us if we can help you create a marketing approach that works. We truly add value to our partnerships.

WEEKLY RATE – RATES MOVE HIGHER EVEN WITH POOR JOBS REPORT
WEEKLY RATE – RATES MOVE HIGHER EVEN WITH POOR JOBS REPORT
Interest rates continue to face pressure pushing the bond markets down and rate pricing up.
Rates moved to 2 month highs after the week jobs report on Friday, October 6th.
Typically, poor job creation in the US Non Farm Payroll report results in better pricing. The market viewed the numbers in a skewed way because large portions of the country were dealing with weather related issues that affected new jobs.
There was also a rise in wages reported which causes inflation. Inflation has been very low for some time and this is a big reason why mortgage interest rates have continued to stay low. If inflation increases, mortgage rates will go up with it.
With economic pressure and the tapering of the FEDs balance sheet – I think that rates will continue to move slowly higher and highly recommend locking.
You can still get a 30 year fixed rate in the 3%’s for less than a point. Not bad, all things considered.
Below are today’s interest rates. Have a great week!!
TODAY’S INTEREST RATES:
30 year fixed: 3.99% – .92 points (4.17% APR), 4.25% – 0 points (4.29% APR)

WEEKLY RATE – Fannie Mae Increases Debt To Income Ratio Limit to 50%
WEEKLY RATE – Fannie Mae Increases Debt To Income Ratio Limit to 50%
The big news this week is Fannie Mae’s implementation of DU version 10.1.
With DU 10.1, more borrowers will be able to qualify for a Fannie Mae conventional mortgage.
The most notable change is the increased max debt to income ratio to 50%.
If you were unable to qualify for a loan in the past due to debt to income ratio, please reach out to us. We would love the opportunity to look into this again for you.
Other notable changes are:
- Easier approval for borrowers with disputed credit tradelines
- ARM LTVs up to 95%
- More self employed borrowers will be approved to use 1 year tax returns
- Time Shares will no longer to be considered mortgages
Interest Rates Continue in Narrow Range Close to 2017 Lows
Interest rates continued to trade in a narrow range at or close to the lowest levels of 2017.
The Mortgage Backed Security Market closed last week trading up + 22 bps. Currently, well qualified borrowers are still able to get a rate in the 3%’s for less than a point.
I expect rates to continue in this narrow range for the time being barring an unforeseen event.
As always, have an amazing week and we’re always available if you need help with a new home loan purchase or refinance.

WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Reverse Course and Improve
WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Reverse Course and Improve
After moving up much of the prior week and a half, mortgage interest rates found some positive momentum, improving 5 of the last 7 days.
The Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market closed last week up + 34 bps and is trading this week up + 39 bps. The bond markets trading up is a positive for interest rates.
Most investor eyes this week are on the announcement by the European Central Bank on Thursday. The main topic of interest is how far away the Bank is from tapering it’s balance sheet. I expect rate pricing to moderately improve before the announcement but the actual announcement is a high risk event.
Even if the announcement is seen as a positive for interest rates, I don’t see rates moving a ton lower than current levels without a major stock market correction or an unforeseen event that moves markets. That being said, most indicators are that the stock market is over valued at the moment so a correction is not out of the question.
As always, have an amazing week and we’re always available if you need help with a new home loan purchase or refinance.

WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Float Around 8 Month Lows
WEEKLY RATE – Interest Rates Float Around 8 Month Lows
Rates and the bond market have stayed in a relatively narrow range for the past month. Interest rates continue to float right around 8 month lows – the lowest levels since before the election.
That being said, prospects for rates moving higher on the horizon is still likely with the FED likely to raise the Federal Funds rate again this year.
The Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) market traded up + 6 bps last week and is trading down – 20 bps so far this week. Currently, a well qualified buyer can get a 30 year fixed rate in the 3%’s with less than a point – a great historical rate.
