The Mortgage Street Smarts of where mortgage interest rates are going (and why):

The following information is current as of Tuesday 7-31-2012 and will help you understand today's best mortgage rates. If you are a Buyer/Borrower who is still on the fence (or if you are a Real Estate Agent attempting to educate your "on the fence" Buyer), please review these trends and secure an historically low interest rate before it is too late.

The market closed Monday with an IMPROVEMENT to pricing (and will typically warrant a pricing adjustment by most Lenders). Monday's IMPROVEMENT resulted in a change of 18 basis points (bps).

(hint: upward activity is good, downward activity is bad)

Advice:

I don’t expect much from today as I believe the markets are waiting for the FOMC Announcement and the ECB Announcement the following day.  But the Fed merely begins their 2-day meeting today with the announcement scheduled for Wednesday.

 

My position on MBS stays Long.
