Last week marked the 9th week in a row of improving rates, but in reality it was a pretty flat week with Fannies only gaining 3/32nds for the week. Thursday was the scary day where we finally had a rally in stocks and the 30yr auction was not well bid making for a seriously negative day for rates that wiped out the gains for the week. That being said, Mid 4's for a 30 yr fixed with NO POINTS for our average buyer, Not to shabby! This week's calendar has its share of movers to keep an eye on: Monday, June 13: A no news day today and Mortgages went from slightly negative this morning ot slightly positive this afternoon, most likely following the stock markets moves. Tuesday, June 14: May Producer Price Index expected 0.0% with the core +0.2%. As reported this one should be supportive of s...

 This is a great little cottage at the Jersey Shore....I took some random photos to share...for some inspiration...As we get ready to embrace  summer days at the beach....  When capturing the charm of a property it is not always necessary to capture the entire room - small vignettes  is a wonderful way of artistically capturing the feel....which is much more inviting and mysterious.....

  What the heck is a "Trigger Lead"???  When a lender runs your credit, the 3 major databases (XPN, TU and EFX) sell your information. This makes your phone ring off the hook with many people that purchased your name. Some of these calls will be more than a nuisance, they can be pushy and I have even had clients that are made to think that they already applied with "brand x". The bad news is there has been a huge increase in Trigger lead activity in the past few weeks, But there is something you can do about it moving forward.  You can OPT OUT: Stop the junkmail. Prevent ID Theft. You can remove your name from marketing lists by Opting Out with a free service honored by the bureaus. Just dial888 5-OPT OUT (888-567-8688) or visit: www.optoutprescreen.com  to register.  This is also somet...

Last week was the 8th week in a row of improving Mortgage Rates with fannies gaining another 9/32nds for the week we now have Mid 4's available for many buyers.  We are now within spitting distance of the all time lows we saw last fall. The bad news here is that the employment report was much weaker than anticipated and that report was a big part of last weeks gain. This weeks calendar is mostly overshadowed by 3 Auctions pumping a few extra billion worth of bonds into the market. Here is the Calendar: Monday, June 6: A no news day today with Fannies trading in mostly negative territory erasing most of the gains we saw last week. Even stocks are down a bit today which makes me wonder if the markets themselves are pretty confused? Tuesday, June 7: Treasury auction number 1 with $32 Billi...

A buyer and their agent should ask specific questions about the short sale negotiations and the seller's current situation, before they make their offer: Who will be negotiating the short sale?  How many short sales have they negotiated? How do they plan on communicating with the buyer throughout this process? How many mortgages/liens on the property and who are they with? Is the seller delinquent on the mortgage and is there a foreclosure date set? Is the seller in bankruptcy? Is the seller willing/able to contribute cash towards the short sale or sign a promissory note? Based on the answers to these questions, your buyer can get a much better understanding of whether or not their offer has any chance of getting accepted by the bank. They won't need to waste their time, or yours, waiti...

 Even with an early close on Friday in a holiday shortened week we still ended up with the 7th week in a row of improving rates with Fannies ending the week up 11/32nds, and rates solidly in the 4's for most borrowers that choose a 30yr fixed rate. This week has it's share of data packed into the next 4 days, here is the Calendar: Monday May 30: Markets were closed for Memorial day, I hope every one had a Great Memorial Day Weekend. Tuesday, May 31: May Consumer Confidence expected at 66.5. The actually report came in MUCH lower at 60.8, but the markets are taking it in stride and we currently have Fannies trading flat this afternoon. Wednesday, June 1: May institute of Supply Management, Manufacturing expected 58.0%. This is anticipated to be down a bit from last month, and is likely t...

There's been a lot of talk about double dipping home prices, but this is simply not true for the majority of sales. Analytics firm CoreLogic reported that for March 2011, overall single-family home prices were off 7.5% versus the previous year. But when they took out distressed sales, typically made at significant discounts, the annual price decline in conventional home sales, which constitute the majority, was less than 1%! Furthermore, CoreLogic found that price declines for conventional home sales have slowed considerably in the last few months. So, make sure you read past the headlines, quite often the real news is much more positive than the headline reports!  I have read that over 85% of what we see on a daily basis is negative. That means we have to look for the positive on our o...

   Last week was the 6th straight week of improving rates with Fannies gaining 4/32nds by time the markets closed on Friday... Teeny little gain, yes, but a pretty solid week of positive trading. All together this recent drop has not only taken us to levels we have not seen since the all time lows last fall, but it has also made this one of the most affordable times to buy a home in almost 2 decades. This week brings us a new list of data to chew on in a holiday shortened week. Here is this week's Calendar: Monday May 23rd: A no news day that has stocks down and Fannies slightly higher for the day, but Fannies are only slightly up which will not show much of a noticeable improvement in rates today. Tuesday, May 24th: April New Home Sales expected to be +0.3%. There have been declines in...
