Mortgage Rates on a Time ClockHere’s a current market update on behalf of Briggs Cline of Buckhead Home Loans:


Mortgage rates slid back slightly last week, as the New Year began. Some of the decline may be due to a bit more realism returning to the market. While we are seeing many signs that the economy is beginning to find some traction, we’re not seeing anything that points to a sizeable acceleration in the rate of economic growth. Of course, given the alternative, we’ll be happy to see any growth rather than a return to recession. Two of the biggest drags on the economy continue to be housing and jobs. While the unemployment rate did tick down last week, some analysts are already predicting a correction in next month’s numbers. However, Challenger, Gray and Christmas’ monthly layoff report recorded just 32,004 announced layoffs in December, the lowest level since before the recession. Perhaps, we will begin to see the labor market improving in coming months.
Friday brings us the most important economic data of the week, with both Retail Sales and Industrial Production reports due. Any better-than-expected news will likely lead to slightly higher rates.

Here’s an interest rate update on behalf of Glenn Robinson of SunTrust Mortgage:


This week we saw a slight drop in rates on the conventional financing while FHA and VA loan options remained relatively unchanged. Next week, to kick off 2011, we are expecting some economic reports both at the beginning and at the end of the week. These reports will drive rates in one direction or the other depending on the numbers. On the whole, Friday has seen some of the best pricing in December which may be an optimistic thought to carry into the new year. I am hoping that we will see rates fall further in the next week or so as the market begins to settle after a wild couple of months. On the whole, we should see rates rise in the coming year as we begin to stabilize and emerge from the current economic crisis.

Mortgage Rates on a Time ClockHere’s a current market update on behalf of Briggs Cline of Buckhead Home Loans:


As expected, mortgage rates were mostly unchanged last week as we rolled into the Christmas holiday. This end-of-year run up in mortgage rates has some people nervous that we are finally going to see rates climbing back to higher levels over the next few months. While we are seeing signs of a strengthening economy, we are yet to see enough economic steam being generated to actually heat up inflationary pressures to a level that would push mortgage rates too much higher in the near term. Ultimately, we will need to have both the housing and labor markets in significantly better shape before we see strong, ongoing economic growth in the United States.

This week is a fairly light week in terms of economic news, with only one major report due. Tuesday’s Consumer Confidence report is expected to show another small uptick. If this comes to pass, we might see mortgage rates moving slightly upward. However, if financial markets remain fairly calm this week, we could see rates move just slightly downward as we head into the New Year.

Here’s an interest rate update on behalf of Glenn Robinson of SunTrust Mortgage:


This week we saw rates rise again as investors continue to see signs of an economic recovery. I believe, as I did last week, that some of these signs may be misleading and as we look at fourth quarter numbers in the next couple of months, we may see rates trend back down to the low fours. That being said, it may be stretch to think we will see rates in the high threes again anytime soon. The bond market did rebound somewhat today (12/17) as rates had spiked earlier in the week amidst reports of decreasing unemployment, higher than expected housing starts and, better than anticipated, initial figures from major retailers. Next week is a short week and it is not uncommon to see the rates rise in the days leading up to a major holiday. Investors always seem to be gun-shy when it comes to tying up their money over a long weekend.
