San Diego Mortgage Rates Report: September 5, 2014

By
Commercial Real Estate Agent with Matthews Capital Markets NMLS 2415712

The mortgage bond market declined slightly this past week, disappointed that the European Central Bank did not attempt a larger economic stimulus.  Mortgage rates declined this week in antipation of massive markets intervention by the ECB--that didn't happen.  Bond traders weighed that information against less-than-stellar domestic employment reports and gently sold bonds all week.

Mortgage rates rose slightly, week-over-week.  You can see mortgage rates as of September 1, 2014 here and follow the national average mortgage rates at Bankrate.com

San Diego mortgage rates tend to be .125% LOWER than the national average. 
Average rates as of September 5, 2014:

30 Year fixed conventional average=      4.06%
15 Year fixed conventional average=      3.17%
30 year fixed VA/FHA average=               3.65%
30 year fixed VA/FHA jumbo avg.=          4.0%
5/1 adjustable rate conv. average=          3.52%

I published articles this week about: 

1- The importance of the reserve study for a VA condominium complex approval
2- Why listing your house at a lower price might yield a higher sales price.
3- How sellers can save money by offering financing terms before lowering price to meet low offers.

Brian, I agree with Pat, our buyers often ask what the mortgage rates are and other questions.  Of course, it depends on each individual but at leat we should be able to provide a general answer. Thanks!
