The rates are still looking good even though they have been on the rise in the past two weeks and it looks like a perfect time to purchase a home and/or refinance your existing mortgages. Treasuries and mortgages rally this morning after the jobs numbers disappoint creating demand for safer assets. Total non farm payrolls increased by 96,000, considerably lower than the 130,000 economists had expected. The Labor Department also revised down job growth for the past two months by 41,000. In July, it revised job growth down to 141,000. The unemployment rate declined to 8.1% in August from 8.3% in the previous month, but the drop was due to a smaller labor force. The lackluster jobs report could force the Fed to react in their next meeting and implement QE3. The Fed meets next Wednesday and releases their statement on Thursday. Currently the 10yr yield is at 1.616% and mortgages are roughly 0.375 better in price from yesterday morning.
Conventional 30 year fixed 3.625% APR 3.671%
Conventional 15 year fixed 3.00% APR 3.081%
Conventional 5/1 ARM 2.5% APR 3.036%
Conventional 7/1 ARM 2.75% APR 3.065%
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.
