Lock? Float? Mortgage Rate Guidance for Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Here are the daily thoughts on floating or locking if you are asked by your clients. 

As always - consult your favorite mortgage professional who will be able to offer the best advice for YOUR unique situation

Housing Starts and Building Permits were both lower than expected and lower than last month’s reading.  While important news it’s not apparently affecting either stocks nor bonds.  Both appear to be heading in the same direction as yesterday - stocks up and bonds down. 

Continued good economic news could push bonds lower - be wary.

Technically speaking - the FNMA 4.0% 30 year bond is hovering at a key support level.  Bonds are heading back down towards oversold levels.

I am recommending to

   LOCK your best mortgage rate.
