Based on Freddie Mac national data, the rates are at 6.87%. This is a few weeks in a row they are trickling down. Something we all need to check ourselves on is the fact that you and I are much more sensitive to rates than our consumers. It's good that we know a bit of what is going on, but stressing rates to clients has not shown positive results compared to talking about a comfortable monthly payment. "Your new house payment is going to be higher than your current rent now... But in 5 years when rent keeps going up, your mortgage won't. Imagine what rent is going to be in 15 years.
Based on Freddie Mac national data, the rates ended last week at 6.95% for a 30-year mortgage. This makes two weeks in a row that we have rates below 7!!! The market is feeling positive about the future housing market even with the Fed's firm stance on not rushing to lower rates.

This FHA down payment assistance grant is completely forgiven after making 6 on-time payments. The grant is equal to 3.5% of the purchase price and can be combined with seller concessions, up to 6% to make this a true $0 cash to close purchase. This grant can be used on all property types 2 units or less….There is no income limit, you do not have to be a 1st time home buyer and the credit score typically takes a 620 to qualify but we have seen as low as 580 work. This loan affiliated with this grant has a fixed 7.75% interest rate and costs 2 points (2% in fees). It can be refinanced after making 6 payment so the clients are into the lowest house payment available to them like they made the original down payment on their own.
