Given the last week's bond market losses, being able to continue writing many 30 year fixed loans with rates starting with a 2 has to be considered a win. Need to make sure there's no complacency here, the trend is definitely not in our favor at this point.

"Simply put, more Treasury issuance = higher rates, all other things being equal." That's just it, all other things are equal or closely equal.

As evidenced by the massive government borrowing over the last year(s?) interest rates continue to be at all time lows.

It seems that maybe government debt doesn't matter as much as it once was thought to matter, especially if all...

Try not to infer any political bias there, TB. I don't have any. It is true though. Any time one party controls House/Senate/POTUS, it's easier to spend money.

It really only signifies that this is where the mortgage origination community is operating. The Fed will buy what's put in front of them.

With all due respect to the MBA, as Matthew Graham has consistently noted, rates were definitely lower for much of August than they are now. Perhaps MBA was looking at rates for loans closed, not started, which would make sense because they would have been originated in July/August. Fannie/Freddie's new .5% refinance fee is certainly impacting rates...

Agree with the comments made, but feel the 8000 lb gorilla in the room is the slack in the economy that hasn't yet been realized due to Fed stimulus and the aforementioned Fed asset purchases.

I'm seeing the .5% "refi tax" coming back into play on rate sheets. Remember, lenders have to pay it on refinances over 125K on loans sent to Fannie/Freddie Dec 1 or later.

If CFPB really wanted to deter these abhorrent practices, they'd ban offending lenders from doing VA loans. It would only take a couple of those for the industry to pay attention and start complying. Token fines aren't effective if lenders have already closed thousands of VA loans.
