ON THE MORTGAGE FRONT

Let’s hear from one of my most trusted resources:

Well, folks, here we are, smack dab in the middle of the home buying season and mortgage rates should be going up.   Mirabile dictu, they are going down, at least momentarily.   For this we have the politicos in Washington to thank.   Chaos and uncertainty in either government or the economy cause the tides of money sloshing around the world to hunker down for safety’s sake in government instruments: bills, bonds and notes.   The price of the instrument goes up due to higher demand, and so the yields, which run counter to price, go down.

Mortgages rates follow the yields of existing U.S. 10 year notes.   As 10 year Treasury yields start to drift down, voilà, mortgage rates go down.

How long this will last is anyone’s guess now.   The stock market, which took a hit the other day due to the turmoil in D.C. has mostly recovered today, so the bond market may soon see a reversal as well.   But no one knows.   The bottom line is:   buyers are seeing very favorable mortgage loan rates.   At least for now.
