market update: Interest Rates Inch Down - 06/01/10 02:54 AM

Rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages were near record lows this week as instability in financial markets overseas had investors seeking safety in bonds and mortgage-backed securities, Freddie Mac said in releasing the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
Rates were headed back up today, however, as renewed confidence in markets had investors moving funds back into riskier investments.
Freddie Mac's survey showed rates on conventional, conforming 30-year fixed-rate loans averaging 4.78 percent with an average of 0.7 point for the week ending May 27, down from 4.84 percent a week ago. That's the lowest rate since the 4.71 percent … (6 comments)

market update: Buyers Purchasing Power NOW At An ALL Time High - 03/07/10 12:49 AM

With only 55 days left to take advantage of the tax credits, here's something very important to think about...
If interest rates increase by one-half point from the current rate, as has been predicted by many economists, a buyer with a loan amount of $200,000 will lose approximately $11,000 in purchasing power. Furthermore, if a buyer does not act prior to the expiration of the tax credit, that's an additional loss of purchasing power ($8,000 for first time buyers; $6,500 for repeat buyers). In other words, if a first time buyer takes advantage of CURRENT interest rates AND the $8,000 tax … (3 comments)
