CT Mortgage Rates November 24, 2009 - 11/24/09 07:35 AM
Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing CT mortgage rates lower. Mixed data resulted in up and down trading but within a relatively narrow range. Things were going well the first part of the week with CT rates improving until Wednesday when the consumer price index and the core came in higher than expected. Inflation, real or perceived, erodes the value of fixed income investments causing prices to fall and rates to rise. We saw some of that mid-week. Despite this, CT mortgage rates finished the week improved by about 1/8 to 1/4 of a discount point.

Connecticut Mortgage Rate Update November 16, 2009 - 11/16/09 08:22 AM

For all the criticism the Fed receives for the handling of the economy, they do deserve credit for keeping mortgage interest rates low throughout this year. How it all plays out in the long term is uncertain. The record Treasury auctions continued to be absorbed in trading without any major problems.

Connecticut Mortgage Rates Update November 6, 2009 - 11/07/09 07:57 AM
Connecticut Mortgage Rates were near unchanged for the week amid very choppy trading conditions.

Fortunately the Fed indicated the continued desire to keep mortgage rates low for an extended period. In addition, higher than expected unemployment and more payroll losses than expected helped mortgage bonds rally Friday. For the week, Connecticut mortgage rates finished near unchanged.
The record debt auctions Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday will once again take center stage as the Veterans holiday Wednesday splits the … (2 comments)
