This news just came from one of our lenders 11/20/2009 - Buyers please take note.

Nationally, housing starts came in lower than expected and banks are maintaining the current pace at which they put foreclosures on the market. Both of these have the effect of keeping inventories in line and home prices stable.

The Consumer Price Index came in at an annual rate of 3.6% and , at its current pace, the Fed will run out of money to buy mortgages next March. Both of these have the effect of pushing rates up.

What does this all mean? Housing prices will not go down and rates will go up, by the end of March, 2010. Folks, it's not rocket science.

Yes unemployment is high, but it's a lagging indicator. It will continue to go up even as the economy improves, and won't come back down significantly until 2011. But if buyers pay attention to the doom and gloom, they will miss out on the MOST affordable housing they will see in their LIFETIME.

This week, rates ranged from 4.75 - 5.0% depending on program, credit and points.
