Looks like a perfect time to purchase a home and/or refinance your existing mortgages.  Treasuries and mortgages are under selling pressure this morning after the unemployment rate drops to its lowest level in almost 4 years.  The drop from 8.1% to 7.8% is being attributed to more people finding part time work.  The nonfarm payrolls came in at 114,000 jobs added last month, in line with market expectations.   More notably, last month's payrolls were revised significantly higher to 142,000 versus the 96,000 originally reported.   In addition, July’s figures were increased up to 181,000 from 141,000. Currently, the 10 year yield is at 1.727% and mortgages are roughly a 0.25 worse in price from yesterday afternoon’s re-price.

Today's Mortgage Rates

Conventional 30 year fixed          3.375%                 APR 3.42%

Conventional 15 year fixed          2.75%                   APR 2.831%

Conventional 7/1 ARM                  2.625%                 APR 3.009%

The above rates are based on a loan amount of $417,000 for a single family home, a borrower’s middle credit score of 740 and a 20% down payment.
