 Last week was a good one for rates with Fannies gaining 18/32ndsfor the week. That should set us up again for yet another low for the year, even with the ground we lost the previous week. At last week's FOMC meeting the Fed reduced growth forecasts, and troubles in Greece continued … (4 comments)

 Last week was the 6th straight week of improving rates with Fannies gaining 4/32nds by time the markets closed on Friday... Teeny little gain, yes, but a pretty solid week of positive trading. All together this recent drop has not only taken us to levels we have not seen since … (2 comments)

Last week was the third week in a row of steadily climbing rates. Fannies lost 14/32ndsfor the week. This steady trend up seems to indicate that the world issues are no longer flowing funds into our credit markets in the same fashion we saw a while back. Considering the rebound in … (1 comments)

After a bouncy ride last week we ended up the week UNCHANGED. That's right, absolutely no difference in price of Fannies from the close the previous week, That doesn't mean it sat flat all week, Tuesday was pretty ugly, but Wednesday and Thursday had great results for the 10yr and … (0 comments)

 Interest rates took a big dip down over the past 2 weeks, last week Fannies gained almost a full point which has us below 5% again for well qualified buyers. Most of the move we have seen is due to the flight to quality because of Libya and Egypt. World … (2 comments)

 Last week was one of the uglier weeks we have seen in the mortgage world, There wasn't just one bad day, every day was a bad one totaling up to a 49/32nd loss in Fannies for the week, and a significant uptick in rates.  This would be the second biggest … (3 comments)

rates: Interest rates BOUNCE off their lows. - 11/16/10 03:22 PM

 Let's put it this way, if you drop a rubber ball off of a tall building it will build speed until it bounces, and the farther it falls, the bigger the bounce!
Interest rates took a pretty big jump up in the past week after hitting all time lows a … (10 comments)

Last week was a bumpy ride that ended the week with a loss of 6/32nds by the end of the week, That doesn't sound bad, but we had a blood bath of a loss on Thursday that ate up a few "ok" days and added to the indigestion.  At the … (4 comments)

Last week was another solid week for mortgages bringing rates down yet again to levels we may never see again in our life times.  Fannies closed the week with a gain of 17/32nds which currently allows us to lend to highly qualified buyers at rates below 5% for a 30 … (7 comments)

in the past 30 days we have had one of the most confused interest rate environments I have seen in the past 20 years.  About 4 weeks ago we bottomed out at levels we have not seen since July of 2003... Keep in mind that 2003 was a … (1 comments)
