Many people think and feel rates have come down. When the fed lowers the rates its only
what the banks lend each other overnight. This doesn't mean that they pass it on to our consumers in the reflection of lower rates for mortgages. It reflect commercial lending and what the YSP are on credit cards.

The activity in MBS markets - and other financial markets - has been
very unusual this month. The Fannie Mae Required Net Yield has already
made two round trips from about 5.70% to 6.60% over the past few weeks,
displaying a level of volatility rarely seen. Under normal market
conditions, the vast majority of the significant rate movements are the
result of fresh economic news. This month, however, it has been common
to see large rate movements unconnected to any news announcements, for
reasons discussed below.

One reason is that the credit crisis has forced many investment funds
and financial institutions to reduce their leverage and raise capital.
In many cases, these big holders of MBS are selling assets across their
portfolios. This explains why MBS, stock, oil, and other markets have
frequently all been falling on the same days. The fundamental economic
data clearly supports lower mortgage rates. Global economies are
slowing, oil prices are down, and expectations for future inflation are
moving lower. As long as these investment funds are forced to sell
assets, however, there will continue to be upward pressure on mortgage
rates. How long it will last is one of the biggest questions facing
investors today.

A second factor is that many investors are seeking to reduce the level
of risk in their portfolios. They are buying Treasuries, mostly
shorter-term, which are considered the safe stable and most liquid
investment. These investors are generally not turning to MBS, and MBS
prices have performed worse than Treasuries this month, meaning that the
spread between mortgage rates and Treasury rates grew wider. Agency MBS
might appear to be a safe alternative to Treasuries. Investors seem to
be fairly comfortable with the guarantee that the US government backs
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MBS, as they are now trading very close in
price to Ginnie Mae MBS. One fundamental concern remains, however. The
question is not whether investors will get their money back, but rather
when they will get it back. MBS yield more than comparable Treasuries
because MBS have prepayment risk and Treasuries do not. The recent
volatility and uncertainty in financial markets makes it more difficult
to evaluate the prepayment risk, so investors are demanding higher yields.

Dear Matt,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping us find our dream home. Francisco and I couldn't be happier. We really appreciate how you were always available to take us from home to home at hours that were convenient to both of us, and on all days of the week, so my husband and I could make the decision together. This was the biggest purchase of our lives so far, and we have you to thank for it.

The final month toward the closing was a bunch of hurdles that we weren't used to, being first-time homebuyers, and yet you guided us through it with good advice and humor. You were more than our realtor, you became our friend, and that was very important to us. We can't wait to invite you over to OUR new home once we get settled.

Thanks for everything.

Rana and Francisco Esquivel
