Mortgage Market News for Wed March 18th

Market Wrap: Wow. Today is one of those rare days when its 'OK' to 'pop the corks' and do a little celebrating. Our benchmark 4.5% mortgage bond sliced its way through a tough layer of overhead resistance like a hot knife through butter. The bond gained 138bp to close at $102.47 after trading in a widely expanded 153bp range. The day's economic news showing hotter than expected consumer inflation took a back seat to the Fed and their FOMC Policy Statement. As widely expected, the Fed kept their target for the Fed Funds rate at 0.00% to 0.25%. For bond traders, expectations were running high that the Fed would offer new programs or expand existing bond buy-back programs. And the Fed delivered on both counts in a huge way. In a new move, the Fed said they would spend up to $300 billion during the next six months to buy long-term Treasury bonds. They also stated they will expand the existing $500 billion buy-back program for mortgage-backed securities with another $750 billion, bringing their total commitment to a staggering $1.25 trillion. The Fed will also raise its buy-back of direct Fannie and Freddie debt to $200 billion. All of these moves are designed to lower interest rates for mortgages and other forms of consumer debt to help the economy recover from a deep recession. We should now see conventional 30-year rates stabilize near historic lows providing excellent refinance opportunities. The stock market also reacted favorably with the Dow reclaiming 90 points to close at 7,486. The broader S&P 500 Index added 16 points to end at 794 while the NASDAQ Composite Index picked up 29 points to close at 1,491.

Commecial Real Estate Lending Update

Today I came across an article on MSNBC that Commercial Real Estate Activity Continuing to Decline, I don’t necessarily agree with this. And here is why businesses still need to grow and receive money. While it is true that many lenders have closed their Commercial mortgage books for the time being, many have decided to take advantage of the down turn and pick up solid assets that they normally could not get. The downturn that many are seeing are from banks that have residential components to them. Many lenders in the Commercial Mortgage, business have never lent residentially and still have strong balance sheets.

Let’s take for a moment what products are hot, and who are lending them. Multi Family projects are strong both in purchase and refinance. Flagged hotels are still strong, we have hedge funds that the average investor/developer would never know about. Development Projects are also equally strong. Many investors with private money are lending, because they can get a better return on their money than they can in the markets.

Remember this if you have these 3 things you can get a commercial mortgage form us.

1. Strong Credit

2. A Cash flowing Deal

3. Assets

Commercial real estate's Lending crisis point approaching?

Here is an interesting article in the San Diego newspaper on the credit Crunch and how it is effecting the Commercial Loans. It is my experince that local banks are not lending. And most banks that have a residential componet to them are also not lending. However there are many commercial only banks that are lending on solid deals. They were always conservative. For the most part Commercial lenders over the years have not taken many risks, except for the Interbays and the Silver Hill's of the world.
