The Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Advisory for Lebanon NH for November 4, 2009

Here are some of the events affecting mortgage interest rates today in Lebanon, NH.

What the Mortgage Backed Securities Market is Doing Today:

The price of the FNMA 30-Year 4.5% MBS coupon opened at 100.66 this morning - down 6/32 from yesterday's close.

The chart below shows today's price trend of the FNMA 30-Year 4.5% coupon:

The FNMA 30-Year 4.5% MBS coupon is currently trading at 100.84 - up 5/32 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 initially be 0.125% - 0.375% worse in price this morning as compared to yesterday.

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

• There are no economic reports scheduled for release today.

In other news, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will adjourn early this afternoon. The FOMC is the policy-making arm of the Federal Reserve, and determines what the short-term interest rate (or federal funds rate) should be. The Fed announces whether it will change the fed funds target rate at the end of each FOMC meeting.

It's expected the Feds will leave interest rates unchanged. However, traders will be looking at the post-meeting statement for any indication of when the Fed may make a move. The meeting will adjourn at 2:15 PM ET today, so look for any market reaction to the statement to come during afternoon hours.

There is an expectation that the Fed may alter its policy statement to take away any perception that the Fed will keep interest rates low for a "considerable" period by removing the word "considerable." That will allow the Fed to have more flexibility in determining short-term interest rates the future. That could have a negative impact on the mortgage market and may lead to higher mortgage interest rates.

What's Happening With Mortgage Interest Rates Today:

Moderate to High Volatility. Overall, the single most important day this week will be Friday with the release of the Employment Situation Report. In addition to the FOMC press release this afternoon, I believe activity in the stock markets will be volatile which in will have an impact on trading of mortgage backed securities. If you have not yet locked in your mortgage interest rate, please proceed with caution and maintain contact with your mortgage professional.

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
• Float 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.

Waterville Valley, New Hampshire has enjoyed a long history of ski racing that started with resort founder and two-time Olympic ski racer Tom Corcoran. Corcoran put Waterville Valley on the map by launching world class athletes in skiing and snowboarding.

Several Waterville Valley athletes are hoping to represent the U.S. in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. Michelle Gorgone, a 2006 Olympian and WVBBTS Ski Club alumna, is expected to compete again in Alpine Snowboarding. Hannah Kearney, also a 2006 Olympian and alumna of the WVBBTS Freestle Ski Program is currently on the Women's A Team for Moguls and a frontrunner to represent the U.S. Nordic skier Kris Freeman will be heading to his third Olympic appearance and claims Waterville Valley as his official training site. The resort is also hoping that Dylan Ferguson, currently on the U.S. Aerials B Team will be selected to the Olympic roster.

In honor of this winter's 21st Olympic Games and the Olympic athletes who got their start at Waterville Valley - Waterville Valley Resort is offering an Olympic-sized learn to ski and ride deal over three weekends: December 12 & 13, 2009, January 9 & 10 and March 20 & 21, 2010.

Each weekend will feature the resort's new Olympic $21 Learn to Ski and Ride Specials, including a beginner lesson, skis or snowboard rental equipment, and a beginner area lift ticket for the day. At the end of your first day on the slopes, Waterville Valley will give each new skier or snowboarder a "WV Learn to Ski/Ride Pocket Guide" full of incentives to come back for two more days! After day three, a "Love to Ski/Ride Pass" will provide you with 50% off lessons, rentals and lift ticket discounts for the rest of the season.

This is great, affordable way to learn. Who knows? Maybe we'll see some future Olympians on Waterville Valley's slopes this winter!
