August ending with rates still on the floor

What a month it has been in the markets. We have seen stocks go on a roller coaster rider like no other and 30 year fixed mortgage rates fall below 4% for the first time since....ever. As we head into the fall, we face the same uncertainty that we have been facing for the past 5 years, in the face of uncertainty I would definitely recommend locking in a rate as close to 4% as you can get. Will they get lower? I don't know. I do know that at some point they will mover higher. So go with what you know, that rates are too good to pass up. As always, check out my rate on my mortgage rate chart

Mortgage rates have improved yet again, I am cautious of repricing for the worse as the 10 yr treasury market is taking a bit of a hit while the stock market surges today. We are seeing best execution 30 yr fixed rate mortgage pricing below 4% for the first time that I know of. I do recommend locking, I also recommend that you contact me today to lock your rate!

As stocks try to recover, mortgage rates remain strong

We opened today with a strong rally in the stock market, as it is currently up about 180 points. While this is being lauded as a recovery, I do not believe it. All we have done is returned to the same levels that we saw yesterday around 3pm. It does not appear that the treasury market believes it either, as treasuries are only slightly off from yesterday's closing numbers. Mortgage rates are largely unchanged, we have seen small price declines in some buckets, but nothing that should affect the end consumer. These declines will be felt by lender in  a slightly reduced margin. Since we are in volatility mode, I do recommend locking your interest rate. I have said it before, you will never regret locking in an interest rate that is below 4.5%! Click here for TODAY'S MORTGAGE RATES

What does the US ratings downgrade mean to mortgage rates?

Well, at least for today it means that they improve. Traditionally speaking, when the stock market suffers, mortgage rates improve as investors move money to the safe haven of the US treasury market. The great unknown going into today was where would the money go now that our credit rating has been downgraded, the answer is that the money is being put into US treasuries. S&P can downgraded us, it does not change the fact that the United States is solid credit bet. The stock market will be very volatile this week and so will mortgage rates, currently we are firmly below 4.5% and seem poised to make a run at 4% 30 yr fixed rates.
