Market Update: Interest Rates

It sounds like a broken record…but rates continue to stay at record levels with no sign that rates are going to increase anytime soon!

30 year fixed rates are averaging 4.75% with no points and approximately 4.50% with an origination fee (which is the rate quoted on a national basis).

The 10 year fixed w/ 30 year amortization is a great program to consider with rates at 4.25% on average! How many home buyers stay in a home or mortgage longer than 10 years?

Fixed rates are hard to pass up in this market, however this 10 year program is a great alternative to a lower monthly payment…

Have a great weekend!

National Economic Update Mid-July 2010

Weekly Economic Summary – July 9, 2010

OVERVIEW ~ June 28 through July 2 ~ The psychology of the economic marketplace, to the extent that it can be measured, shows up in the numbers. Over the course of the week, for example, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell from 10143.81 at the opening on Monday to 9640.69, presumably on growing concerns about the apparent weakness in the American economy. Until recently, it has generally been agreed that the economy would stumble forward for several months and then, at the beginning of the next year, begin to grow in a sustainable way. By Friday, however, after the release of the June employment figures, the DJIA dropped and most other data edged lower. Even the manufacturing sector, which has been one of the brightest lights in the economy in recent months, showed a weakening with the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Index dropping from a strong 59.7 in April to 56.2 in May, and a 1.4% fall for May factory orders. In such an environment, interest rates are likely to fall, and indeed the 10-year Treasury note declined from 3.110% to 2.956%.

FOCUS ~ The employment report was treated as if it were a mid-term report card for the economy in our nation. The Thursday report of 472,000 new claims for unemployment insurance worried most investors and then the larger employment report, released Friday, caused analysts to doubt their earlier hopes for recovery and caused the markets to fall significantly.

There were 125,000 jobs lost in June. Analysts had hoped for a furthering of the positive numbers reported in the prior month. We need at least 150,000 new jobs each month to just keep up with the employment needs in our nation. In June, the economy failed even to tread water.

The unemployment rate actually declined from 9.7% to 9.5%, but this was not good news either, because the survey indicated that 652,000 capable workers had simply stopped looking for work, pulling themselves out of the so-called “labor pool.” Thus, the unemployment rate declined, not because more people found jobs, but because fewer people are looking for them.

The May employment report apparently lulled investors and analysts into a more optimistic view than it should have, largely because of the many census jobs that increased employment numbers and then swiftly fell away. A survey of American economists had resulted in a median expectation of 110,000 new jobs in June. Thus, the markets reacted strongly to the decline.

If there is any good news to be found in the week, it is the fact that overall mortgage interest rates remain even more attractive than they were before.

Interest Rates at RECORD low TODAY!

I had lunch with a Real Estate Broker today in full discussion on the lowering interest rates. During his 30 years in this industry, he has never been apart of mortgage rates at 4.5%, until today! These falling rates are incredible for buyers and sellers to take full advantage of. Our local Cincinnati Market place is still seeing a high inventory, combined with rates this low, you may never get a chance to buy so much more for so much less! See today’s rates below:

HAPPY THURSDAY!!!!

Freddie Mac said Thursday that almost all mortgage rates fell to record lows
with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at 4.69% with an average 0.7 point for
the week ending June 24.  UNION SAVINGS BANK IS AT 4.75% w/0 PTS ON A 30 YR
TERM / 4.50% FOR 20 YRS / 4.25% FOR 15 YRS!!!  In the previous period, the
average was 4.75%, and the year-ago average was 5.42%. “Mortgage rates for
all but traditional 1-year ARMs hit all-time record lows this week in our
survey while activity in housing market slowed in May following the
expiration of the homebuyer tax credit,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac
chief economist, in a statement. “Both new and existing home sales showed
unexpected declines in May. Existing sales fell 2.2%, compared to the market
consensus forecast of a 6% gain, based on figures published by the National
Association of Realtors. Sales of new homes fell 32.7% to an annualized rate
of 300,000 units, which was the largest monthly drop and slowest pace since
records began in 1963, according to the Census Bureau.”

DON’T FORGET … OUR CLOSING COSTS ARE AS LOW AS $500 (PURCHASES) & $250
(REFINANCES)
