The question I get asked the most in regards to Massachusetts Mortgage Rates, Is what drives them. My clients are amazed that it is not the fed. When the Fed makes a move, they can change a rate called the "Fed Funds Rate" or "Discount Rate". These are both very short- term rates that impact credit cards, Home Equity credit lines, auto loans and the like. On the day of the Fed move, Mortgage rates most often will actually move in the opposite direction as the Fed change. This is due to the dynamics within the financial markets in response to inflation.

Massachusetts Mortgage rate are actually driven by Bonds, when the market is buying bonds they are helping drive the 30 year mortgage lower. It's a double edge sword for many people, they want the stock market to due well, but they want interest rates to drop. However, most of the time when thee Dow is going up so are interest rates. And when it is going down interest rates improve.

So the next time you are looking for mortgage in Massachusetts make sure your mortgage person actually knows what drives rates, and how it all works. If they cannot explain how Mortgage Bonds and interest rates are moving in real time and warn you in advance of a costly intra-day price change, you are talking with someone who is still reading yesterday's newspaper, and probably not a professional with whom to entrust your home mortgage financing. Would you work with a stockbroker who is only able to grab yesterday's paper to tell you how a stock traded yesterday, but had no idea what the movement looks like at the present time and what market conditions could cause changes in the near future?

Credit card debt, balloon mortgage payment, the new car; Americans are faced with overburdening debt, and debt collectors to add on to it. Statistics from the Federal Reserve state that the whole of outstanding balances on credit cards in the US is over $750 Billion, which averages out to about $8,000 per American household. Not to mention, interest rates are rising constantly on credit purchased to where the average interest rate on an introductory card (a first time credit holder) is about 21%. In today’s economy, it is becoming more and more difficult for a consumer to rise above debt, and regain fiscal control. However, there are options. Besides bankruptcy, which can ruin credit for a substantial amount of time, different programs are available. One viable option is a Massachusetts Debt Consolidation Loan. With a Massachusetts Debt Consolidation Loan, an applicant with reasonable credit can obtain funds to pay off credit cards, mortgage payments etc. Very often, and depending on the credit situation of the applicant, the interest rates on these Massachusetts Debt Consolidation Loans are very, very low, even according to federal interest rate statistics.

Because the collateral for a Massachusetts Debt Consolidation loan is often a home, it is important for the applicant to consider their ability to repay the loan. Normally, the loan payments are very low, and lengthy, so immediate ability to repay the loan is practical, however, an important aspect of repayment is the TERM of the loan. Two questions to ask before applying for the Massachusetts Debt consolidation loan are: “Will I be able to afford this payment in three years?” and “Am I willing to put my home up as collateral for this loan?” If the answers to these questions are yes, then it is time to take the next step. At Global Home Mortgage, loan officers are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week at www.chrishills.net to assist you with all your financing needs.

Wow- that's about all one can say when you check the results of searching the phrase "Home Equity Lines" on Google.
When was the last time you were able to make significant home improvements, buy that nice -energy efficient hybrid vehicle, or move up to a high mileage vehicle and finance it with a rate of 3.99%?

Remember- when low rates were only for the- high volume-high profile borrowers? They paid prime and you paid about 5% more. Well, over the years, things have changed and now when lenders promote home equity lines of credit with introductory rates as low as "PRIME MINUS 1"- that is an option you need to consider.

In spite of all the stories we are bombarded with everyday, millions of homeowners still have a lot of home equity and lenders still see this market as an attractive source of loans. Yes, lenders do want to make loans- that's one of the prime reasons they are in business. They actual need your business and with HELOC's as low as 4%, you have a wonderful opportunity to borrow "necessary short term funds" at very low rates.

Many HELOC's are free of all closing cost and in some instances the interest paid on your HELOC may be tax deductible. However, it is important to remember that a Home Equity Lines of Credit is an adjustable rate loan and rates generally adjust with prime. That's why they are best used for "short term borrowings".

Massachusetts Home buyers are often surprised when a "rate quote" from the morning won't be honored in the afternoon. Sometimes, the assumption is that the loan officer is just being sneaky.

This couldn't be less true.

Rate quotes change in the middle of the day because mortgage markets are in constant flux. All day, every day -- just like stocks.

And like stocks, a mortgage bond's morning price will likely "expire" before the day ends.

One way to visualize this is to look at today's Microsoft's stock price:

• At 9:30 A.M. ET, the price was $28.46
• At 9:38 A.M. ET, the price was $28.72

Over the course of 8 minutes, the stock rose by 26 cents and the "9:30 A.M. quote" was no longer available. For example, you couldn't call your stock broker at 9:38 A.M. and place an order for the 9:30 A.M. price because the price had changed.

Ma Mortgage rates behave the same way.

Throughout 2008, Massachusetts mortgage rates have changed mid-day more frequently than in the past. On more than half the days, morning fixed rate quotes were no longer valid in the afternoon. And, on at least 5 separate occasions, fixed rates changed 4 times in just one day.

It's not typical, but it does happen.

So, if you're talking with your loan officer in the morning about a rate quote, be prepared to do all of your shopping in a compacted amount of time, and then be ready to make a decision.

By the time the afternoon rolls around, after all, that rate quote may well be expired

Half Full- Half Empty-Half Glazed?

You choose, but the important thing is to choose and take action.
Every day we are bombarded with news, facts, observations, opinions and analysis. The spin masters serve up someone to expand the half empty theory and someone to expand the half full theory. And, of course, someone appearing half glazed and wanting to hang at the half-point.

The problem isn't the information. The problem is having too much information and not taking action.

Whatever your theory about succeeding in today's economy is, the only one that will work, is the one that involves action. Doing the same thing today, as you did yesterday will most likely mirror yesterdays results.

Think about this. The baseball season is underway and some of the best hitters in the game are off to a horrible start, by most standards. How does .77 sound with a goal of 300? The spin masters are in full bloom with dozens of half hearted theories about why, but the only theory that counts, is what the hitters believe and how they plan to improve. Action creates change. Change can be good.

For many, this year has gotten off to a slow economic start and many don't know how to view the hourglass. We are being bombarded with major changes on the local, national and world level as we adapt to a changing world economy. Some change is geared to improving and correcting mistakes of the past 10-15 years, some is born out of the need to achieve personal and financial success in a challenging global economy.

Feds Respond To Protect Liquidity.
If you concentrate on the "half full" concept, you might believe that the explosion of the sub prime credit crisis, the housing decline and the increasing energy crisis is enough to leave you fully glazed. However, the government wasn't about to let a company like Bear Sterns ruin things for everyone. So they took bold and decisive action to support the credit markets and stabilized the economy for at least a moment.

This move helped to keep the pipeline open and if you are a buyer in this market you might be seriously thinking that the glass is half full and it's time to tap the faucet to fill the glass to the top. There is the liquidity out there to make it happen,

The media says ‘mortgages are hard to get" and while that may be true, there are loans available. Homes are being sold and financed everyday. A lot of information shows that in many markets, the homes being sold in 2008 have been on the market fewer days than in 2007. That is a positive news! It means loans are available despite a changing loan process. That change may be a good thing as well. The economy has been in a similar cycle before and the open market has always been able to solve the problems and weave through the cycle.

With 30 year fixed rates hovering around 5.62% and 15 year fixed in the neighborhood of 5.37% for loans with 80% LTV, it just might be time to make a move. Rates are low, inventory is high, and the US Government is issuing rebate checks, with hopes that some will buy a new home.

Mortgage programs like FHA are being revisited and revised, now offering loans with increased limits and down payments as low as 3%. Down payment may now be gifted and FHA still has flexible credit scores and allows the seller to pay up to 6% of the closing cost. Getting the loan for your dream home may be a bit more challenging than in the past, and that's why it is important to have a solid mortgage broker/company working with you throughout the process.
