interest rate: Mortgage Rate Update -- Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about! - 05/13/09 07:11 PM
Interest rates today remind me of my 1 1/2 year-old... I turn my back for ONE SECOND and he falls down! Based on a number of factors including unemployment numbers coming in worse than expected, mortgage rates went down today, closing at the recent low:
4.5% Rate / 4.673% APRP & I payment: $2,112.88Loan amount: $417,000Down payment/equity: 20%Loan Program: 30 Year Fixed
Rates are as of 5/13/09. Subject to change without notice and most likely they will, but I will be ready in the morning in case they open where they closed! Anyone care to lock a rate? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

interest rate: Mortgage Rate Update -- 'she canno' hold on much longah' cap'n! - 04/17/09 06:32 PM
Yes yes, another trek reference. Not that anyone's counting *sigh*
The week started lower, held at the hump and lost momentum in the last couple of days. Here's where we wound up:
4.875% Rate / 5.026% APRLoan amount: $417,000Down payment/equity: 20%Loan program: 30 Year FixedMinimum credit score: 720
Everything points to this being the bottom for rates -- well, except that ONE Bank of America announcement that said they expected 4.125% rates. Hey BofA, here's an idea -- take that TARP money and MAKE NEW LOANS!
Ok, I apologize. My usual diplomacy is nowhere to be found.
Thanks for reading!

interest rate: Mortgage Rate Update -- Holding Steady - 03/31/09 09:26 PM
Mortgage rates held on to improvements made over the previous sessions today. Little Mr. Doubting Thomas here was sure they were going to climb back up.
 
DARN YOU MAGIC 8-BALL!!!!!!
 
Lucky for you fence-sitters out there, you got to weigh the pros and... well, they're really all pros... for another day.
I leave you with one of my favorite quotes:
"Good things may come to those who wait, but only the things left behind by those who hustle." Abraham Lincoln.
 
Let's show some hustle people! Pick up those knees! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!
