Ginger ice-cream at Sundae School

I was looking at my photos, when I ran across this one and I immediately started thinking of ginger ice-cream. Okay when I am on vacation I am always on the lookout for rum raisin ice-cream. I don't have it often, but most of the ones on the market don't make the cut so I am always searching.

This place is Sundae School in Harwich on the Cape. As you can tell from the picture it is a popular ice-cream spot for vacationers. I was hoping to get my rum raisin but that particular day they had none. I took a long time looking at the menu and finally decided on ginger ice-cream as an alternative. The truth is, I did not know what to expect, however I was rather pleased with it.

So if you are ever in Harwich stop by Sundae School and try one of their ice-cream; if ginger ice-cream does not appeal to you there are many other flavors.

Honey where should we go next?

When I go to the beach the birds on the beach never fail to amuse me. I have so many bird pictures that it is now a joke with my family. They are always asking if I got enough bird pictures for the day.

When I look at this particular picture, to me I see two love birds, no pun intended, contemplating their next move. Or maybe they are thinking to themselves, "will the catch be good today?"

So, what do you see when you look at this picture?

So what does all this mean? Well, if you're looking for a home in the town of Harwich, you better not mess around too much. While sales are overall are relatively flat, prices of homes are climbing.

Still, lowball offers won't cut it in a market like this. Sellers aren't in control of the market either, so both buyers & sellers should be reasonable when negotiating.

Otherwise you may end up frustrated, disappointed and, unfortunately, perhaps misled.

Trend and Forecast in Mortgage Rates on July 19, 2010 - Improving, or...?

Here are some of the events affecting mortgage rates today:

What Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) Are Doing Today:

• The price of the FNMA 30-Year 4.0% MBS coupon opened at 101.88 this morning - the same as Friday's close.
  
  
• At 9:30 AM, the 4.0% MBS coupon was trading at 101.75 - down 4/32 from its opening.

Remember, on mortgage backed securities (MBSs), as the price goes down, the yield goes up - and so do mortgage rates. I expect that mortgage rates will be up to 0.125 points 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 4.0% coupon over the past 30 days from 6-19-2010 to 7-19-2010:

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

Mortgage Rate Lock Advice:

Mortgage rates are at their historic lows - and haven't been this low since the early 1950s. They could possibly go even lower as the global economic crisis continues. However, the stock market is over sold while the bond market is over bought, and rates could begin to head up soon as the markets begin to correct themselves. As such, I would not risk the chance waiting for lower mortgage rates.

If I were financing a home or refinancing a mortgage today, I would:

• Lock if my closing was taking place within 7 days
• Float if my closing was taking place between 8 and 15 days
• Float if my closing was taking place between 16 and 30 days
• Float if my closing was taking place more than 30 days from now
