What A Difference A Day Makes

Elizabeth Bolton - Cambridge MA Real Estate Agent: Real Estate Agent in Cambridge, MA

Brick Victorian building against a bright blue sky in Boston's Back BayYesterday we had early snow - preceded by pouring rain. But what a difference a day makes! It was a beautiful blue sky autumn day.

Good thing too - I had a tour scheduled for the Back Bay in Boston this afternoon. It's a park-and-walk kind of place so bad weather would have nixed our tour. Instead, it was a glorious day - no need for a jacket - and the perfect weather to soak in this beautiful neighborhood.

"One of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it. There is only one thing certain about it, you are certain there is going to be plenty of weather." -- Mark Twain

Dana Bain: Mortgage Company in Sterling, MA
http://www.bainmortgage.com/MortgageMarketWeekInReview Provided by Dana Bain Dana Bain Premiere Mortgage Services 11 Malvern Hill Road Sterling, MA 01564 Phone: (978) 422-2311 Fax: (978) 422-2313 E-Mail: dana@bainmortgage.com Market Comment Mortgage bond prices fell sharply last week driving mortgage rates higher. Rates were under pressure from better than expected economic news and rising stocks. Retail sales, weekly jobless claims, and industrial production data were all better than expected. The improved economic outlook had investors flocking to buy stocks, which helped the Dow Jones index to close over 10,000. For the week, interest rates rose nearly 7/8 of a discount point. The producer price index data to be released Tuesday will be the most important data this week. Any signs of inflation will generally not bode well for mortgage bonds. The Fed "Beige Book" will factor into trading this week. Stock strength and dollar valuation will play a pivotal role in mortgage interest rates as well. LOOKING AHEAD Economic Indicator Release Date & Time Consensus Estimate Analysis Housing Starts Tuesday, Oct. 20, 8:30 am, et Up 1.5% Important. A measure of housing sector strength. Weakness may lead to lower rates. Producer Price Index Tuesday, Oct. 20, 8:30 am, et Up 0.1%, Core up 0.1% Important. An indication of inflationary pressures at the producer level. Decreases may lead to lower rates. Fed "Beige Book" Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2:00 pm, et None Important. This Fed report details current economic conditions across the US. Signs of weakness may lead to lower rates. Leading Economic Indicators Thursday, Oct. 22, 10:00 am, et Up 0.8% Important. An indication of future economic activity. A smaller increase may lead to lower rates. Existing Home Sales Friday, Oct. 23, 10:00 am, et Up 5.5% Low importance. An indication of mortgage credit demand. A significant decrease may lead to lower rates. Housing Starts Housing starts data is a leading indicator of the state of our economy. This report, provided by the Bureau of the Census, takes into account data from both single-family homes and multi-family dwellings. Building permits are also released with the housing starts data. By knowing the number of permits issued monthly, analysts can attempt to estimate for the upcoming months. Normally, starts are 10% higher than permits since all locations are not required to have a building permit. Housing starts and permits give a warning of future economic activity. In effect, a rise in housing starts can lead to a fall in the bond market and vice versa. Consumers tend to hold off on the purchase of new homes, new cars, and other big-ticket items if they are worried about the future of the economy. Housing is an important part of our economy. Continued declines in housing starts can lead to continued economic slowdown and essentially a deeper recession. On the other hand, increases in housing starts could signal a possible reversal. From the opposite perspective, changes in interest rates often lead to changes in housing starts. High interest rates can cause a significant decline in home sales, which can lead to a drop in housing starts. Just the opposite happens when rates drop and is one of the additional reasons the Fed is trying to keep rates low. Low mortgage rates affect both home sales and housing starts. The housing market across the country is a vital component in sustaining the economy. For some time homeowners generally saw an increase in the value of their homes. Unfortunately now that has all changed. The softening of the housing market tied to credit concerns continues to have many worried. Most economists believe more pain is headed our way from the housing sector. There is still uncertainty regarding the future state of the economy. Mortgage bonds have been volatile and improvements are not a given despite the recent Fed efforts to purchase mortgage bonds. The good news is that mortgage interest rates remain historically low. Be cautious. MORTGAGE MARKET IN REVIEW Newsletter-October 19th, 2009
