- 04/22/10 04:53 AM
Update:The MBS Market has turned negative in the last half hour. Bonds once again were turned away by the thick ceiling of resistance formed by the 50 day and 200 day moving averages. Since there is nothing on the horizon that could be forseen to boost them over that resistance and with an upcoming announcement of next weeks Treasury auctions my advice is to LOCK as it appears we may be hitting a high point in the market.

san diego mortgage rates: Mortgage Market Snapshot & Rate Lock Advice for Thursday 4-15-2010
- 04/15/10 05:29 AM
Update: The MBS Market is currently positive, up 16bps. Many lenders are re-pricing for the better. My strategy would be to carefully wait for your lender to re-price and then lock as market conditions (as we saw yesterday) are very volatile and things could turn south quickly. Here is today's Mortgage Market Snapshot from RateAlert.com: Treasuries and mortgages were slightly better prior to 8:30 this morning but data at 8:30 pulled treasuries and mortgages back to unchanged. Weekly jobless claims were substantially higher than estimates which were for a decline of 20K filings, as reported claims increased 24K to 484K, the … (0 comments)

san diego mortgage rates: What Will The Coming Week Bring For the MBS Martket & Interest Rates?
- 03/28/10 12:43 PM
Last week we saw Mortgage Bonds move sharply lower and rates higher on the heels of some not so well received Treasury auctions and the Fed's impending exit from the market. Will the coming week bring more of the same? No auctions this week but of of course Wednesday is the big day - the last day the Fed will be Mr. Deep Pocket Buyer in the affore mentioned MBS Market. Hard to picture bond prices moving any higher (bond prices and rates are inverse, as bond prices move lower yields, i.e. rates, must increase to attract buyers). Probably the best we can … (0 comments)
san diego mortgage rates: Bernanke's 18 mo. MBS Buying Party Winds Down - Will the Sky Fall for Low Rates?
- 03/25/10 05:55 AM
Traditional thinking to stimulate an economic recovery is to keep interest rates low. The Federal Reserve of course takes the charge on this as they set some very key benchmark rates namely the Discount Rate and the Fed Funds Rate. Despite what many may think, the Fed has no direct control over mortgage interest rates and in the second half of 2008 they were on the move higher. Mortgage rates are a product of the open market as mortgages that are originated by banks are mostly securitized and sold to secondary market investors. There was a strong lack of demand for such … (0 comments)

Last night we witnessed a historic passage of the Heathcare Reform Bill in the House of Representatives by a vote of 219-212. We have all heard opinions ad nauseam from the politicians, talk show hosts and pundits on what this means for our country but as Real Estate and Mortgage professionals we have different concerns. We want to know what if any effect this will have on our business and specifically will this have any effect on interest rates?
