brentwood tn real estate: Finance Market Update - Week of February 18, 2008
- 02/18/08 06:44 AM
Brentwood TN Real Estate Mortgage bond prices fell last week pushing mortgage interest rates significantly higher. Stock strength the beginning of the week hurt mortgage bonds. Stronger than expected retail sales, shocked the market. The weakness was compounded as investor concerns about exposure to mortgage bond risk grew. Fed Chairman Bernanke expressed concerns about economic growth but his remarks did little to help mortgage bonds. For the week, interest rates on government and conventional loans rose by about 1 and 3/4 of a discount point. The consumer price index data Wednesday will be the most important event this week. The Fed minutes, housing starts, … (4 comments)

Brentwood TN Real Estate " Are You Sure This Is The Right House? " When a showing starts with this question it's all downhill from there. Today I was out with buyers looking at homes in Brentwood TN.

Brentwood TN Real Estate Today I received a voice mail from a buyer out of state interested in Brentwood TN property and asking me to return his call.

Because he was not 100% sure TN was the place for him and if it is it will … (21 comments)

Brentwood TN Real Estate Mortgage bond prices fell last week pushing mortgage interest rates higher. Trading was volatile but most of the negative movement occurred the latter portion of the week. Traders remained concerned about inflation, which erodes the value of bonds. Philadelphia Fed President Plosser did very little to alleviate those concerns by stating that core inflation would remain elevated despite slower economic growth. For the week, interest rates on government and conventional loans rose by about 3/8 of a discount point. The retail sales data Wednesday will be the most important event this week. Trade data, industrial production, capacity use, and consumer … (0 comments)

Brentwood TN Real Estate Yesterday my seller closed after a 1/4 as long on the market as the rest in this community. Why? She priced it right. Priced it to sell and did all the repair items we talked about prior to listing. She was a dream client, I wish they were all like this. I was tickled to help her get it done.

- 02/04/08 01:36 AM
Brentwood TN Real Estate Mortgage bond prices rose last week pushing mortgage interest rates lower. Trading was volatile with most of the positive improvements coming early in the week. The anticipated Fed rate cut and mixed economic data sent bonds up and down the latter portion of the week. Unemployment was stronger than expected @ 4.9%, however payrolls fell 17,000. Stocks continued to bounce back posting additional gains following the Fed 50 basis point rate cut. Unfortunately this caused the demand for mortgage bonds to languish. The good news is that despite the weaker demand the latter portion of the week, for … (16 comments)
brentwood tn real estate: Legislative Update - Higher loan limits inching toward reality!
- 01/30/08 11:03 PM
Brentwood RN Real Estate The US House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed HR 5140 - an economic stimulus package that includes a temporary increase in the conforming loan limit and the upper threshold for FHA loan programs to as much as $729,750 in high-cost areas.

That means that the existing $417,000 conforming loan limit for mortgages eligible for purchase by … (4 comments)
