Current mortgage rates remain at near-historic low levels this morning, including ARM mortgage rates which fell one-eighth of a point at Total Mortgage yesterday.
The 5/1 ARM conforming mortgage dropped from a 3.000 percent rate and 3.367 percent APR, to 2.875 percent and 3.323 percent, respectively. This is the lowest five-year ARM mortgage rate at Total Mortgage of 2010.
Other current mortgage rates at Total Mortgage see the 30-year fixed FHA at a 4.250 percent rate and 5.178 percent APR, and the 30-year fixed jumbo mortgage at a 5.125 percent rate and 5.336 percent APR.
With wild swings now commonplace in trading markets, along with increased borrowing costs at European banks, home buyers would be well advised to lock in these exceptionally low mortgage rates before they potentially go up.
Yesterday, the Dow hovered down more than 200 points, before a late-day surge allowed it to recoup almost all of its losses. Also Tuesday, consumer confidence rose for the third-straight month, and S&P/Case Shiller Home Price Index reported somewhat sobering homes sales data amidst what Robert Shiller calls “extraordinary uncertainty” in housing prices.
Additionally, three of the Fed’s 12 districts requested an increase in the Discount Rate from .75 percent to 1 percent, a move that would have further normalized the spread between the Discount Rate and Fed Funds. Also, the two-year Treasury note auction had strong demand yesterday despite registering about a basis point higher than the pre-auction market levels. Today, the five-year Treasury note auction will take place, followed by the seven-year note auction tomorrow.
