Average rate for lastest week!!!

Freddie Mac reports that the rate for a 30-yr fixed conventional rate was 3.54% in the latest week – to obtain that rate, a 0.8 point would have to be paid.

Mortgage Market Update 9-27

Mortgage bonds are down again for the third day in a row. Successfully giving back nearly all the rate gains we had seen last week.  Why you ask are did we lose steam on that amazing rate rally, well watch the video to find out.  I’m moving to a cautiously floating stance as we near the bottom end of the new trading channel.  Today’s news held for us national home price levels and consumer confidence numbers, plus we kick off the first of 99 billion in auctions today.

Are you missing this Opportunity?

Historically there is always that one day that was the best day ever.  In the mortgage industry we look at the lowest day ever for rates, as that best day ever.  That day was yesterday, now what I love the most are the sofa surfers that know more about the market than I do and insist on holding out for lower rates, because our trusted media who by the way has no track record of being correct when it comes to financial matters,says so. The last two easing initiatives  QE1 and QE2 both played out exactly like Operation Twist has so far played out, and there is no reason to think the outcome will produce any further drop in rates than what we have experienced the last two days. Both QE’s produced big gains in the first two days and then came a pull back due to profit taking then a slight rally back the following open market day then flat line for the next couple months. Be sure to watch the video a take a good look at the charts…you will see the patern already deveolping.  There is not one person with a 30 yr fixed that should not be seriously considering a refinance right now…do it for free in case I’m wrong and rates drop further, you can do it again, no harm no foul.  Worried that you are starting your 30 year term over and you will never paydown your home…let me show you how wrong you are…for a free consultation email me or apply on this site. Banks are out of capacity they will not drop rates any lower, each time they do they cut into their own profits and on top of that before this recent drop the did not have staff to handle the loans coming in…so do it NOW, or you will be missing a great free opportunity.

Operation Twist?

Day two of the FOMC meeting and we are about to get the word on upcoming monetary  policy direction.  Watch the video to hear the plan and why the government thinks this stimulus package will keep long-term rates low.  The real questions is will it work and how will this affect Mortgage Backed Securities and interest rates.  I’m taking a locking stance, as I fully expect some volatility this afternoon.

Update 9-15

Been a long two weeks, the markets have been volatile, but stable if that makes any sense.  We have seen huge swings but at the end of the day they have averaged out in a pretty consistent pattern.  CPI number hit the wire along with the news spokesholes spamming the outlets about mortgage rates hitting lowest levels in 60 years. Major banks, BofA specifically is still bleeding out uncontrollably we could see a flat line scenario soon.  Mortgage Bonds are off today…my advice is to lock in while rates are at these levels.

This chart illustrates the most recent ADP employment report released today showing an increase of 91,000 private-sector payrolls in August. These numbers suggest a recent trend of modest employment growth. Markets use this report as a gauge on the U.S. government’s job estimate which will be released on Friday.

Week in Preview 8-29

This is going to be one of those strap in and hold on kind of weeks.   More economic news than should be allowed in one week, started today.  It all comes together on Friday with the Jobs Report and Unemployment Number. Mortgage bonds are off this morning, on rising inflationary numbers.  I suggest carefully floating today, but being prepared to lock at a break below the S1 level outlined in the charts.  Watch the video.
