The home loan rates in the U.S. dropped to previously-unseen amounts again this week. Federal lender Freddie Mac blames slower-than-expected economic progress for the drop. Source for this article: https://personalmoneynetwork.com/moneyblog/2012/02/02/mortgage-rate-lows/

Fees are rising due to FHFA fees commencing April 1, but why are the lenders threatening to raise rates by significantly more than the planned fees? Are they predicting significant upward pressure?

Finally - a loan program that has nothing to do with the restrictions on GSE mortgages! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_6UnRYaWKPa3T-w1GJun82-PpXUVgfgtLDDcJFRCg1o/edit?hl=en_US

Funny how the govt. spent billions on one hand to make mortgage rates lower, then makes them more expensive with the other hand. If that doesn't speak volumes toward the general incompetence and inefficiencies of govt. and the laws of unintended consequences I don't know what does.

A Bell...you are contemplating .25%...really? My gosh, get on with living and enjoy your holidays. I have no idea what your loan amount is but if it is 417K, you taliking about a difference of less than 750.00 a year. I bet you spend more on cell phone usage. Take the rate, close the loan, an send your friends and family to the Lender.

A Bell the only way to tell is if you give more information...loan amount, loan to value, credit score would be needed to give you some feedback...

Is it worth while to take a rate of 4.25% with a credit of (1.625) toward closing cost opposed to holding out for 4.0% at par?

re: Mortgage Rates Continue Hovering Close to Historic Lows

This is great, and hopefully they will remain low long enough for buyers en masse to take advantage. However, low rates, while they add to affordability, do nothing for accessibility which remains painfully low.

Rates are just one part of the housing equation. In order to take advantage, buyer's must have all of their mortgage approval ducks in a row. Check out this article on the pillars of approval: http://www.homeforsure.com/back-to-basics-the-pillars-of-mortgage-approval

re: Risky Day Ahead for Already Low Mortgage Rates

Christopher Medley — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:33:40 GMT

The important thing to keep in mind is that rates are just one part of a good long-term purchase strategy. The combination of rates, returns and prices have created a window for buyers that will last over time, regardless of what rates do day-to-day.

Low rates are great, but they are just one piece of the puzzle. Check out this article on the buyer's "window of opportunity" that the current market presents: http://www.homeforsure.com/buyers-clock-move
