This was the sixth week in a row were 30 Year mortgage rates fell or held steady. In the tarry 6 weeks 30 year notes have fallen from 6.63 to 6.35. This was preceded by a sudden jump in interest rates in July where 30 year mortgage interest rates rose from 6.26 to 6.63 midst July 17th and July 24th. So during the time rates are little higher today than what we saw on July 17th they have almost fallen rear to mid July levels. It's interesting to dot that it took one week for rates to jump from 6.26 to 6.63 and six weeks of falling rates to get occlude to the July 17th levels.

This week we also saw decreases in all the other major mortgage products. The 15 year mortgage fell from 5.93 to 5.9 and the 5 year arm fell from 6.03 to 5.97. By far the biggest mover was 1 year arms which fell almost 1/5 of a point movable from 5.33 to 5.15. Below are rates for the 4 major mortgage products for the be late few weeks.

So why have rates steadily fallen. I consider it has to be based on rumors (which have now proven to be correct) that the federal nation is going to takeover Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Basically the direction takeover provides more assurance to banks that their mortgage insurance is going to be paid out in case of default. The declining fortunes of Freddie Mac spooked some banks into pensive their mortgage insurance was harmoniously worthless. So now banks are concavity rates in their view the risk associated with the loans has gone down.

So what do I expect to see over the next few months? I would be fascinated if mortgage rates don't collate to fall now that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are owned by the government. The Fed has been trying to push down interest rates all year and now they have the revenue to do so (I contemplate this was part of the motivation rearward the takeover of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae). So does this mean investors? Should they wait for mortgage rates to drop before buying? I don't ponder so. If rates follow in succession to fall certain estate prices could rise or at least I would expect to see underADJ Expensiveness deals sitting on the market. Instead if you find a dominion to I would watch interest rates and if they string together to fall I would try and relock your mortgage rate at the new lower rate. While I expect rates to fall something unexpected that spooks banks over the next month could of course push mortgage rates postern up.
