I truly believe the people that put consensus #'s together have no clue. I think they put #'s on a dart board and start throwing darts. Look out 10% we will see you later this year. On the other hand the 10yr is below 4.5%, headed in the right direction.
on
4.5% up 22bps last sale $100.09 5.0% up 28bps last sale $102.16 Lets go!!!!! I need to close all my refi's I took in May at 4.75-4.875!!!!!
on
I really feel guilty..........
on
Don't leave us hanging jvanpetten... WHY?
on
guilty about being happy that even more people have lost jobs to help our rate locks...
on
If it's the same guilt I feel then what she means is that it's horrible that we are constantly praying for bad economic numbers for our own personal gain (in our case lower rates and better pricing). It is pretty horrible. I just want to be able to lock this last wave of refinances I took before we saw a .5% increase in one day back in late May. In a way, I really trully feel that we need rates in the mid 4's in order to really recover from this recession. So in a way we need this bad news in order to get rates back to where they should be.
on
You both got it, for my own personal gain.
on
not much immediate impact on the 10 yr..still at 5.2?
on
I hate rooting for bad news too. Reality is that you can not have a recovery in these times without housing. This is not the 1940s. We are a consumption driven economy and if our biggest asset(s) is/are deflationary we are not going to spend money. Housing has to stabilize and the only way to do that is to keep rates low enough to entice people to buy homes and/or refianice to free up discretioanary funds. Premature exuberance leads to rates rising and will cause us to backslide..just like we did in May
on
I kindafigured that's what it was jvan, just wondering why we never get GOOD news followed by GOOD rates! I know why, but, here's to wishing. Looks like Margarita's on the libation of choice this weekend!
on
YEEAH UNEMPLOYMENT. I'll be the cheerleader if everyone feels guilty.
on
I don't feel guilty, because I didn't cause the unemployment. It is just reality.
on
Did not get much this morning from my first rate sheet, only 10 bps
on
not much move on rates today. wondering what the consensus is? lock today, or wait til Monday, all else being equal (ie, 10yr stays where it is). as this is like a friday, would that hold some lenders back?
on
"Premature exuberance leads to rates rising and will cause us to backslide..just like we did in May"... David, that's an awesome statement. My feeling is that the Chicago boys had these economic recovery numbers predetermined a year ago, and put pressure on the statisticians to live up to their political agendas. Problem is the economy isn't improving, and they're just making it worse with PREMATURE EXUBERANCE. Axelrod and those guys have a real recession on their hands, and their outdated Kensyian economic model from the 1960s isn't going to help one bit.
on
Lenders probably don't want to attract a bunch of new business that needs to be hedged before a long holiday weekend.
on
Nat City.. 30 yr fixed 1 origination at 5%.
on
RATES STINK THIS MORNING!!! what gives???? I was execting to move down at least an .125% in rate but I got about 10bps, not enough to move any lower. Still around 4.875% paying about 45bps on the best deals in NY and 60bps in NJ. We should be at 101 at 4.875% for the best deals today.
on
AHHH - for once, a 3 day Holiday weekend where we can really RELAX!!! Coming back pumped up next Monday!!
on
Not expecting too much today. I think there's a lot to digest over the weekend. Auctions next week will be interesting. The data today should help them go over well. We all want things to get better. What we were and still are hoping for is the gov't, media, & markets to acknowledge the REALITY of how tough things truly are out there. There is too much separation between Wall Street and Main Street. All of us in this industry have been force fed this reality for the past year. It hurts to tell someone that, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to help. The only way we head out of this mess is for the problems in the housing market to be addressed w/ more force. The scary thing is that there's still some major hurdles in front of the real estate market & financial institutions. So far it doesn't seem that any of the talking heads want to open their eyes to this publicly. I just want 4.5% at par again and my neighbor to get her job w/ the county back.

Wells Fargo dropped to 5.25 this morning (been at 5.375 forever it seemed): https://www.wellsfargo.com/mortgage/rates/ Anyone think it may drop down further today?
on
We are at 5% making .5%. No Adam i would not do a deal for that little just saying.. :)
on
Sorry that is for FHA.
on
Investors holding tight on available YSP's - today is thier Friday. May have some dips late today. Best bet is to enjoy the 3 day weekend as the market dips next week (hopefully) - we will all be scrambling to lock and close loans.
on
George -- are car shopping this weekend?

for the rates link
on
Roy- Neither would I. :) mine was Fannie. This is just my luck, I'm going to be 4,000 miles away on vacation and rates are going to bottom, I'm going to have to have to be sneaking out to send emails and all I want to do is relax. I got the ring yesterday and I'm popping the question this trip. Wish me luck everyone!!!
on
Hey Brian they don't call it crook county for nothing now.
on
i CAN SEE IT NOW....ADAM "WILL YOU MARRY ME" BUT BEFORE YOU ANSWER i HAVE TO CHECK RATES
on
Good Luck Adam. DO NOT start it off on the wrong foot. Everything will be there when you get back.
on
Adam - Goodluck on the trip. Your relationship is much more important than the start of a rate dip.
on
Yeah Adam kick back on the beach with your lady a couple Corona's, skip a few rocks then skip that Blackberry, before you pop the question. (commercial I know but it's cool)
on
Good luck Adam!!!! Do youself a favor and just shut the phone off and wait to deal with things when you get back!
on
Congrats Adam. Relax and have a good time. Proposing is sort of a big deal so put the rate thing aside. LOL!!!!! Next thing you know you'll have a beautiful little baby like the one in my profile pic. LOL!!!!
on
Can't believe there's a woman out there that'll date a mortgage guy, much less marry one these days. J/K Good luck. I'm sure you have someone reliable @ work who can handle your business. Leave your laptop and the rate @ the gate. Have fun!!
on
funny how if the employment numbers went the other way and were less than expected then rates would have jumped for sure. hopefully we will see more green later today
on
I've been floating a 4.5% since end of May. Fallen off the sheet since June.
on
enjoy the vacation Adam...we'll miss your comments!
on
Good luck Adam! That's what matters in the long run, not the stuff we worry about here day to day.
on
A comment on the guilt thing. Just remember that once the economy is back on it's feet and rates are sky high, those same folks unemployed today won't give one wit that you are earning 100% commission, are employed but have no paycheck.
on
Congrats and good luck Adam!!
on
Congrats and good luck Adam!
on
Adam D good luck on your trip.....best thing a man can do is find a good woman to share his life with.......set all your files on a trigger rate and have your assistant or processor lock them if they hit it.....talk to the clients and get their trigger rates and have them commit to locking if they hit....then set them all up so it is simple for whomever takes care of it for you to manage..........and have fun and worry about having a good time and not mortgage rates.....
on
Craig, you're too funny. Best wishes Adam and enjoy your trip. I bet you won't even remember about the rates once you're at your destination.
on
Thanks everyone. You're right about a BB commercial. I can almost see it now :) She'e been with me since the beginning of my mortgage career and has seen the highs and lows so I know that she's a keeper. This whole economic madness has really put life in perspective and you need to enjoy life while you can and not get bogged down in the details. Rates go up and rates go down... the sun rises every day no matter what the economy does. Well, not so sure about the sun these days on the NorthEast. It's raining AGAIN!!!
