January 22nd, 2009 categories: Money and Mortgages
I received an email from Jeff Edwards from CS Financial and thought i’d share a little of his email with you before giving you the interest rates for the week:
There are no significant economic reports due for release this week, but that has not meant much for mortgage rates, as they continue to trade in a volatile fashion. If you haven’t noticed, mortgage rates have moved higher over the last two weeks. We think this move has more to do with industry capacity – handling the massive surge in refinance volume – than with the market fundamentals. In the long-term we see margins compressing as capacity increases and, coupled with the continued support of the Fed’s commitment to purchasing mortgage bonds, rates trending down.
