home buying: Monday Mortgage Call - The Best Source for Mortgage Related Info - 05/06/13 05:13 PM
Good Afternoon,
I hope you enjoyed the weekend and were able to get outside. I think it’s safe to say spring is here (about 2 months late)! The call will be short today as I’m pretty swamped right now. But that’s a good thing, so here we go....
On today's call: Markets, Housing, Interest Rates
The markets opened up but stayed relatively even for most of the day after a huge gain on Friday. The unemployment numbers were impressive (although I still think they’re skewed) and the S&P increased its record setting level. Investors are still weighing any potential market corrections … (0 comments)

Good Afternoon,
I hope you had a nice weekend. We’ve gotten some warmer weather and some sun, now if we can combine them at the same time for more than one day, I’ll be happy. I got to see some old family friends from Australia and if anyone’s been there, please give me some travel tips…I need to start saving now!

Good Afternoon,
I hope you enjoyed the first weekend of winter (I mean spring). First, a big thanks to all Of you for helping spread the The Mortgage Call around. On Friday, we added our 200th recipient to the list. Let’s keep sharing this! Second, and I don’t mean to soapbox, but if you’re at all interested in the food you eat, read up on HR Bill 933 section 735. This is an epic failure on the part of Congress and it will have long-lasting ramifications. Anyway...

Good Afternoon,
I hope you had a good weekend. I happened to see Argo on Saturday and while it was an excellent film, I guess I was kind of surprised that it won best picture. I wasn’t surprised to see the Hawks win another one though!

home buying: Yes...rates are rising...better hurry up! - 02/01/13 09:02 AM
The bond markets reacted favorably today to the unemployment level remaining relatively unchanged at 7.9% after today's job news. The Dow is close to it's highest level on record so investors are currently divided on the state of the economy apparently. If you know of someone looking to purchase or refinance a home, please pass this info along. I'd appreciate it.
Happy Friday everyone...enjoy the weekend and don't eat too much on Super Bowl Sunday!

home buying: Bond market frenzy and other musings... - 09/07/12 01:49 PM
Good afternoon,
After a few days of moving away from bonds, investors flight to safety back to them today was pretty substantial. All three major averages posted sizeable gains for the week, but investors were not excited about the weak government jobs report. The time for the Federal Reserve to decide on another round of bond purchases is moving closer and it seems with more negative reports like the one today, Ben Bernanke will have no choice but to begin buying bonds.
It has been assumed by many analysts in Wall Street that if the Fed doesn’t … (0 comments)
