Mortgage Rates Mostly Unchanged After Treasury Auction

Posted To: Mortgage Rate Watch

When economic data is thin the stock market tends to have a larger impact on the direction of mortgage rates. The session began with stocks moving lower yesterday. With no data on the economic calendar to reverse the market's direction, the bond market was able to rally all day (higher bond prices = lower bond yields). This allowed most lenders to reprice for the better. Like yesterday, the economic economic was quiet today. Two events influenced the marketplace...

USDA Rural Development System Upgrade Complete. Now Processing Conditional Commitments

Posted To: MND NewsWire

In March we learned that USDA Rural Housing funds were expected to run dry by the end of April . A month later, even though the legislation intended to provide the funding had not passed, USDA began issuing commitments for new loans, but there was a caveat: Loan approvals would be "subject to the availability of funds and Congressional authority to charge a 3.5 percent guarantee fee for purchase loans and a 2.25 percent guarantee fee for refinance loans." Finally, on July 29 Congress passed HR 4899 to reestablish the program as one that would no longer be subject to the annual whims of Federal funding but self-sustaining through a 3.5 percent guarantee fee paid by the borrower. Four weeks passed after the Congress did their job and appropriated unlimited funding for the USDA Rural Housing Program...(read more)

Posted To: MBS Commentary

Treasury just auctioned $21 billion 10 year notes . Auction demand was healthy thanks to one group of bidders specifically. The bond market has responded favorably in post auction trading. The high yield was 2.67%, which was 1.5 basis points below the 1pm "When Issued" yield, indicating bidding was aggressive, mostly because the market was able build in a big pre-auction concession.

Purchase Apps Up 6.3%. Refinance Demand Declines 3.1%

Posted To: MND NewsWire

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) today released its Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending September 3, 2010. The MBA's loan application survey covers over 50% of all U.S. residential mortgage loan applications taken by retail mortgage bankers, commercial banks, and thrifts. The data gives economists a snapshot view of consumer demand for mortgage loans. In a low mortgage rate environment, a trend of increasing refinance applications implies consumers are seeking out a lower monthly payment. If consumers are able to reduce their monthly mortgage payment and increase disposable income through refinancing, it can be a positive for the economy as a whole (creates more consumer spending or allows debtors to pay down personal liabilities like credit cards). A falling trend...(read more)
