Greetings House Hunters!
 
Below is an update of the real mortgage market action* through the close of Friday, November 13th's trading session, so you're "in the know" about rate trends. 
 
Locking is still recommended at full loan approval to avoid any guideline changes and avoid market volatility.  Volatility has returned as the Fed and Treasury wind down their MBS buying programs by Q1 of 2010.  
 
We expect rates to rise gradually over the coming weeks and months, as the Fed is slowing their buying of Mortgage Backed Securities through March 2010.  They still have about $250 Billion allocated to spend.
 
*Trend Summary* SEE CHART BELOW.....
Near-term:  Sideways - locking is advised to protect from lender guideline changes.  You don't want to blow your closing by an unwanted surprise!
Long-term:  Subject to rates rising due to recent Policy Announcements. Who can be 100% sure? Don't wait! If rates drop enough later to make sense, we'll refinance you FREE - GUARANTEED. 
 
Rate Change Summary since last week:
  • Conforming (<=$417,000 loans) = Improved
  • "Temporary Jumbos" ($417,100 to each county's federally mandated limitup to $729,750 as of May 1, 2009) = Improved
  • True Jumbo (above $417,000 or each county's federally mandated limit) = ARM & FIXED rates Held Steady - CALL OR EMAIL ME FOR DETAILS IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW NEEDS $750K TO $4MM True Jumbo money -- WE HAVE IT, EXCLUSIVELY, FOR 5% to 6%!!  Elsewhere, Fixed rates are still higher than normal by 1.5% to 2.0% (this will likely continue through Q4 2009).

*The chart below references the prices of Mortgage Backed Securities ("MBS"), which drive mortgage rates directly, and trade live just like stocks.  The prices move opposite of rates (or "yield").  The 'peaks' you see in the chart represent low rate points over the last 6 months, while the 'valleys' represent higher rate periods.  When the Candlestick shown is green, rates are improving.  When the Candlestick is red, rates are worsening.  While we are always updated on any new lender pricing specials, the market's current general overall (macro) trend in price is illustrated on the chart by a straight blue line (when available), and provides an idea of the near-term (within 30 days) trend for rates.
