Current Pricing of FNMA 30 Year 4.5% Bond: $101.09
-12 bps (Prior Close – $101.21)
Market Update: Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) pricing is lower today from Friday's close. For a consumer, this translates into an upfront fee increase equivalent to .125% of the loan amount in order to obtain the same rate available on Friday for a home loan. A decrease in bond prices causes home loan rates and/or fees to increase.
Economic News: There are no economic reports due for release today, but the rest of the week is loaded up with reports, including the Fed Meeting and Monetary Policy Statement on Wednesday.
Recommendation: FLOAT
The decision to float or lock your interest rate can save, or cost, you thousands of dollars over the life of your new mortgage. Our recommendation won't apply in all situations, so if you have questions please contact us for clarification.
