Market Update-Interest Rates

 

Not a great week for the stock market, however the good news is that on Friday afternoon the market reversed its downward trend and ended back up over 10,000 by the close.   This could be a good sign going into Monday’s trading as buyers came back into the market at the end of the day!
 
The same could be said for the Real Estate market…many first time buyers are now beginning to call again, in order to take advantage of the tax credit program.
 
Rates continue to stay very low…conventional loans averaging 4.875 to 5.00% and FHA/VA rates averaging 5.00 to 5.125%
 
I say average as there are so many more components that go into an interest rate today; such as credit score, down payment and loan to value…however no matter what an individual buyer’s situation rates are still at historical lows!
 
Many are concerned with all of the regulatory changes and that it will take much longer to close a transaction, however you can still close a loan in 3 to 4 weeks (or less) if it is done right and disclosed properly…we just closed a VA loan last month in less than three weeks…so closing times really have not increased like many had thought and predicted.
 
Have a great weekend!

With 6 more weeks of winter looking at us, I do not believe that is going to slow this market place down. We are now approaching 1 full week of over 90 pendings per day. During our busiest month of 2009 (November for closings, October for Pendings) we had nearly 3 straight weeks of over 100 pendings per day.  Our strongest weekend review was 181 pendings purchase contracts.

Before we review the averges for this weekends action, lets just look at the volume. 144 pendings is very at the volume of activity we were having in late October 09. I mentioned last week while we were having 90 and over 100 daily pendings that the action was ramping up. Numbers like this verifies exactly what we have been expecting. This is very good news for our Market Place. Sellers have to realize the opportunity to move forward with their plans.
