Current Pricing of FNMA 30 Year 4.5% Bond: $101.50
+59 bps (Prior Close – $100.91)
Market Update: Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) pricing is higher today from yesterday's close. For a consumer, this translates into an upfront fee decrease equivalent to more than .50% of the loan amount in order to obtain the same rate available yesterday for a home loan. An increase in bond prices causes home loan rates and/or fees to decrease.
We've had a floating bias since the major price deterioration over the last week. Pricing has improved dramatically and rates/fees should continue to move lower.
Economic News: Initial Jobless Claims rose higher than expected.
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.
