The Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Advisory for Brewster MA for January 19, 2010

Here are some of the events affecting mortgage interest rates today in Brewster, MA.

What Mortgage Backed Securities Are Doing Today:

  • The price of the FNMA 30-Year 4.5% MBS coupon opened at 100.53 this morning - down 7/32 from Friday's close.

  • At 10:15 am, the 4.5% MBS coupon was trading at 100.63 - up 3/32 from its opening.

Remember, on mortgage backed securities (MBSs), as the price goes down, the yield goes up - and so do mortgage interest rates. I expect that mortgage interest rates will be 0.125% - 0.375% worse in price this morning as compared to Friday.

Price Trend in Mortgage Backed Securities:

The chart below shows the price trend of the FNMA 30-Year 4.5% coupon over the past 30 days from 12-19-2009 to 1-18-2010:

Economic Reports, News, and Events Affecting Mortgage Interest Rates Today

  • there are no economic reports scheduled for release today.

In other news, a special election is being held today in Massachusetts to fill the seat long held by Senator Edward Kennedy. While Democrats outnumber Republicans by 3 to 1 in the state, Independents outnumber both. If Republican state senator Scott Brown wins the election against the Democrat nominee Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, health care stocks and the stock markets could soar tomorrow. That in turn could lead to higher mortgage interest rates tomorrow as investors pull funds out of the safe haven of the bond and mortgage markets and invest in stocks.

What's Happening With Mortgage Interest Rates Today:

Moderate to High Volatility. Mortgage interest rates are still at historic lows. If you're happy with the rate being offered to you and don't want to risk mortgage interest rates moving higher, you should apply and lock in today. While there's still some room for MBS prices to tick higher, it's better to have locked when you should have floated than it is to float when you should have locked.

If you have not yet locked in your mortgage interest rate, please proceed with caution and maintain contact with your mortgage professional. Also, give very serious consideration to applying now and locking in before mortgage interest rates get worse.

What the Mortgage Backed Securities Market is Doing Today:

The price of the FNMA 30-Year 4.0% MBS coupon opened at 98.48 this morning - the same as Friday's close.

The 4.0% MBS coupon is currently trading at 97.88 - down 20/32 from its opening this morning. Remember, on mortgage backed securities (MBSs), as the price goes down, the yield goes up - and so do mortgage interest rates. I expect that mortgage interest rates will be 0.25% - 0.50% worse in price this morning as compared to Friday.

Economic Reports, News, and Events Affecting Mortgage Interest Rates Today:

  • There are no economic reports scheduled for release today.

What's Happening With Mortgage Interest Rates Today:

Moderate to High Volatility. Overall, I am expecting to see some movement in the mortgage market and mortgage interest rates this week, but nothing drastic unless we get some surprising results from the week's data.

The bond and mortgage markets will close early Thursday and will be closed all day Friday in observance of Christmas Day. This means that trades in mortgage backed securities will light during the latter part of the week. This raises the possibility of stronger reactions to surprises in the mortgage market from economic data than we normally would see.

There's not much room for MBS prices to move higher or for mortgage interest rates to move lower at the moment. Mortgage interest rates are still at historic lows. If you're happy with the rate being offered to you and don't want to risk mortgage interest rates moving higher, you should apply and lock in today. While there's still some room for MBS prices to tick higher, it's better to have locked when you should have floated than it is to float when you should have locked.

If you have not yet locked in your mortgage interest rate, please proceed with caution and maintain contact with your mortgage professional. Also, give very serious consideration to applying now and locking in before mortgage interest rates get worse.

My Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Advice for Today:

If I were considering financing/refinancing a home, I would...

  • Lock if my closing was taking place within the next 7 days
  • Lock if my closing was taking place between 8 and 30 days
  • Float if my closing was taking place between 31 and 45 days
  • Float if my closing was taking place between 46 and 60 days

This is only my opinion of what I would do if I were financing a home. It is only an opinion and cannot be guaranteed to be in the best interest of any or all other borrowers.
