1. Mortgage Rates Remain Low After National Average Drops

    By on June 11, 2010

    The lowest mortgage rates of 2010 continue to hold their ground at Total Mortgage Services, LLC Friday morning, as the national average on the 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to its lowest point of 2010 last week and is within reach of dipping to a record-low number. The national average on the 15-year fixed-rate fell to an all-time record last week.

    At Total Mortgage, the 30-year fixed conventional mortgage is still at a 4.375 percent rate and 4.583 percent APR, and the 15-year fixed conventional mortgage is coming across at a 3.875 percent rate and 4.236 percent APR.

    According to yesterday’s Freddie Mac report, the national average rate on 30-year fixed conventional mortgages fell to 4.72 percent from last week’s 4.79 percent rate. That is the lowest rate since the week ending Dec. 3, 2009, when it hit a record low of 4.71 percent. Freddie Mac also reported that the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.17 percent, down from last week’s 4.20 percent rate, and it is the lowest on record since Freddie Mac started tracking that mortgage type in August 1991.

    On the economic front, a rally in the Euro propelled stocks sharply higher and bonds lower on Thursday. The Euro jumped from 1.197 to 1.212.  We could see a bit of a reversal in stocks this morning after disappointing retail sales numbers indicate a considerable slump in consumer spending.

  2. Mortgage Rates Remain Low During Slow Recovery

    1 By on June 8, 2010

    The lowest mortgage rates of the year continue Tuesday at Total Mortgage Service, LLC, following an evening in which Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke predicted that recovery from the recession will be prolonged while high unemployment lingers.

    The 30-year fixed conventional mortgage is still at a 4.375 percent rate and 4.583 percent APR at Total Mortgage, and the 30-year FHA mortgage remains at a 4.250 percent rate and 5.178 percent APR.

    “There seems to be a good bit of momentum in consumer spending and investment. My best guess is we`ll have continued recovery, but it won`t feel terrific.” Bernanke said. “We’ve seen consumers coming back. We’ve seen firms spending more. There are some signs the private sector is picking up the baton and moving the economy forward.”

    One area that didn’t move forward Tuesday was the stock market, where the Dow closed at its lowest point of 2010. Many investors appeared to still be reacting to last week’s dismal employment numbers for May. Bond prices also rose nicely on Monday.

    This morning, stocks are pointing higher and bond prices lower in early trading, while the Euro remains under pressure.

    Other mortgage rates of note at Total Mortgage include the 5/1 ARM conforming mortgage listed at a 3.125 percent rate and 3.547 percent APR, and the 30-year fixed jumbo at a 5.250 percent rate and 5.463 percent APR.

    Current mortgage rates are updated regularly on the Total Mortgage website, and daily mortgage news and insight is offered at the Total Mortgage blog.
