Home Mortgage Rates Inch Up

The 30-year fixed hits 5.23% last week, bouncing off lows.

http://money.cnn.com/2009/04/23/news/economy/mortgage_rates/index.htm

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Home mortgage rates were slightly higher this week, jumping from near record-lows last week, according to a report released Thursday.

The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate jumped to 5.23%, up from 5.18% the previous week, according to Bankrate.com’s weekly national survey.     http://mylendingplace.com/mortgage-rates/

mortgage-rates-texas3Even with the increase, rates remain at historic lows, the report said.  Rates have plunged since late October, when 30-year fixed home mortgage rates averaged 6.77%.

Mortgage refinance rates have been comparatively tame in recent weeks, but one exception has been the jumbo mortgage market,” the report said.           austin-texas-current-mortgage-refinance-home-loan-rates 

Jumbo loans are considered too large to be purchased or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and they carry higher rates than smaller “conforming” loans that do carry guarantees. 

Mortgage rates are still higher than they would be in a normal credit environment, but with the slowly thawing credit markets the spread between conforming and jumbo rates has  narrowed to levels last seen in Nov. 2008,” the report said.

http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/04232009_fixed_rates_drop_below_arms.asp

Six months ago, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.32%, meaning a $200,000 loan would have carried a monthly payment of $1,240.55. With the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate now at 5.23%, the monthly payment for the same size loan would be $1,101.93, meaning homeowners who refinance now would save more than $140 per month.

Other mortgage rates: The average 15-year fixed rate mortgage ticked up to 4.75% from 4.72% the week prior.

The average jumbo 30-year fixed rate dropped sharply to 6.52% from 6.69% the week prior.

Adjustable rate mortgages were “all over the map,” the report said, with the average 1-year ARM rising to 5.32% while 5/1 ARMs fell to 5.11%.

When Should You Refinance?

http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/home/chi-0419-toolkit1-textapr19,0,271614.story

A mortgage refinance push has gained ground as the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell below 5 percent. Even President  Barack Obama recently touted the benefits of the low interest rates as “good news” for American families following a round-table discussion with homeowners in Washington.

The current average for 30-year fixed mortgage rates, according to Freddie Mac, stood at 4.82 percent Thursday, down from 4.87 percent the previous week. But when should a homeowner make the jump and what should they watch out for in the process?

austin-mortgage-rates1Christine Benz, director of personal finance for Chicago-based Morningstar Inc., offered the following advice in a recent posting on morningstar.com.  http://www.morningstar.com/

Refi fees. She points to a recent survey by Bankrate.com that indicated average closing costs on a $200,000 mortgage nationwide totaled $3,118, not including taxes, insurance or prepaid items, such as homeowner association dues. Refinancing fees likely would be a bit lower, and offset by interest-rate savings, but still would pay off only if you stay put for a few years.  http://www.bankrate.com/

Calculate savings. The traditional rule of thumb is a differential of a full point in mortgage rates will result in savings.                A mortgage refinance calucalator is available at  http://mylendingplace.com/mortgage/rates/calculator/

Check your credit score. Benz says a score of 650 or higher indicates good credit. If your score is lower, your credit has worsened since getting your current mortgage, or if you have had a job loss, you may want to wait until your situation improves to refinance.

How are mortgage rates determined?

The best way to get today’s mortgage rates is to just call us at 512-996-8194.

 Mortgage rates are constantly changing and this makes it difficult when one is buying or refinancing a home.  So how are mortgage rates determined?

 There are really two pieces to mortgage rates.   First, everyday there is a general market price for loans.   This is how Wall Street or “the open market” prices mortgage backed-bonds.

Secondly, there is how your local lender/mortgage broker takes the Wall Street open market rates and offers them to the public.

 The purpose of this article is to discuss how your local lender or bank determines the rate for your specific home loan.     Read the rest of this entry »
