Yesterday the market was not for the faint at heart, but pricing remained almost unchanged from the prior day. As the week trend is viewed, rates increased by about .25 to rate.

Have a successful weekend and remember, in today's market, there are still ways to qualify borrowers who are outside the standard box. It's a cooperative approach from broker/banker, real estate agent, and borrower that gets them to the closing table.
