October 17th Market Update: Voting for President or your team?

By
Mortgage and Lending with Homes Mortgage NMLS# 366970

Good Morning,

 

So, did you sit and watch the presidential debates last night or possibly the Major League Baseball playoff game? I chose to watch the latter not necessarily because I feel the debates aren’t worth watching.  I just get a little overwhelmed with the amount of fact checking I have to do afterwards to determine what was accurate. There’s just something a little more pleasant about baseball.

 

The good news in the market this week, median home prices are rising.  The bad news, a lot of this is spurred by low interest rates then the question becomes; what happens to the housing market if rates rise significantly again over the coming years?  Will there be enough confidence to sustain growth?  I think these are some of the same questions the Federal Reserve is wrestling with and I’d hope they have more informed answers than I do.

 

Have a great week!

 

Matt

 

 

Rates: 30 year fixed at 3.375% (APR 3.511) and the 15 year at 2.75% (APR 2.992), FHA: 2.99% (APR 3.792): As always rates change with individual credit scenarios and programs, APRs are estimated based off of a $250,000 purchase price with 20% down and a 740 credit score, if you want an exact quote, call. These are not quotes, merely a baseline measure to gauge how rates change from week to week.
