DAILY MORTGAGE RATE UPDATE 09-17-18

Mortgage Rates are higher and following the path of least resistance. Prices have fallen beneath a support level and are near 2018 lows.

Stocks are mixed amid greater trade concerns between the U.S. and China.

I am recommending locking all files that are scheduled to close within the next 30 to 45 days, as rates are near their highest level in 7 years.

DAILY MORTGAGE RATE UPDATE 09-14-18

Positive economic news, as well as wage-based inflation, are preventing Rates from moving higher.

Retail Sales were up 0.1%, much weaker than 0.4% estimated. July was revised higher to 0.7%, and we expect the positive trend to continue.

I am recommending locking in the short-term, 30 days or less until closing.

Everything you have always wanted is on the other side of fear.

DAILY MORTGAGE RATE UPDATE 09-13-18

Mortgage Rates are slightly higher and off their worst levels after consumer inflation came in lower than expected and after yesterday’s lower wholesale inflation.

I am recommending locking in the short-term, 30 days or less until closing. Further out, floating is prudent.

DAILY MORTGAGE RATE UPDATE 09-12-18

Mortgage Rates begin the day near unchanged stuck in the sideways to lower pattern for several weeks.

Lower wholesale inflation numbers couldn’t spark a rally in the market. Tomorrow, the more closely watched CPI will be released that will show consumer inflation.

Mortgage rates edged higher in the latest week though they remain historically attractive.

I am recommending locking in the short-term, 30 days or less until closing, while floating all others.

Mortgage Rates continue to follow the path of least resistance, lower this morning, despite lower Stock prices.

Stocks are down on lingering trade issues with China amid worsening relations between the two countries.

Small business optimism soared to a record high in August on reports that business is booming given the strong labor market and economy.

I continue to recommend locking in the short-term, 30 days or less until closing. Longer-term, you can try to float but be on guard.

When things are a disappointment, try not to be so discouraged.

Higher than expected wage growth within the August Jobs Report stokes inflation fears, which is pushing Rates lower as the week comes to an end.

Job growth in August exceeded expectations though the June and July numbers were revised lower.

I am recommending locking in the short-term, 30 days or less until closing.

Once you choose hope anything is possible.

Mortgage Rates are near unchanged while Stocks trade near the flat line ahead of tomorrow’s closely watched government Jobs Report for August.

August ADP Private Payrolls came in below expectations and had little impact on the markets while Weekly Initial Jobless Claims hover near lows seen in 1969.

Home loan rates were essentially unchanged this week and remain historically attractive.

Ahead of tomorrow’s key labor market report, I am recommending locking in the short-term, 30-days or less until closing.

The Mortgage Bankers Association reports that home loan rates were essentially unchanged in the latest week and remain historically attractive.

Ahead of two big headline risk events this week in the ADP Private and Non-Farm Payrolls, I am recommending locking.

Tomorrow is always fresh with no mistakes in it.

Mortgage Rates are modestly higher in what will most likely be one of the slowest trading days of the year.

Stocks are near unchanged as the week and month comes to a close.

I am recommending floating brand-new files heading into the long holiday weekend. If anything changes I will get back to you.
