"Don't get caught watching Treasuries Today"

That is the quote of the day from my guy in pricing. He means that while bonds are rallying a bit, Mortgage backed securities are only benefiting slightly. Rates remain where they were Friday and locking in still seems like a good play. More after the strike of noon.

Rates improved yesterday...

30 year fixed rates re-priced lower yesterday after a successful treasury auction. It was a dicey time for rates as the stock market was rallying and the 10 year note had increased over 3.0....For now the pressure is off and rates should continue to hover at 5%. For now.....

All that bluster...

Mortgage rates go nowhere amid all the headlines. If your value has dipped contact the company servicing your loan for information on a modification.

Rates move sideways...

Interest rates remain where we left off yesterday. Stocks are positive this morning putting a little strain on the bond market. Overall rates are fantastic and bouncing between 5-5.25% on a 30 year fixed!

Mortgage Rates Improving

Stocks are headed south and world economies are tanking...but mortgage rates are improving!!!
Always a silver lining. Look for slightly better rates ahead as Mortgage Backed securities improve this afternoon...
