Mortgage Marvel Rate Trends Shows 30-Year Fixed Rates Continue Downward Trend

(firmenpresse) - MEQUON, WI -- (Marketwire) -- 09/07/11 -- The European debt crisis and fears of another U.S. recession continued to fuel investors' flight to quality with investments in long-dated treasury debt. The 10-year treasury yield dropped 0.26% from 2.23% a week ago to 1.97% yesterday. Mortgage Marvel Rate Trends™, a daily survey of over 1,000 lenders, shows 30-year, fixed rates decreasing 0.08% over the past week to 4.23% from last week's value of 4.31%. The fact that mortgage rates are not dropping at the same pace as the benchmark treasury rate suggests that lenders and investors are holding rates a bit higher to manage application volume and increase profit margins.
Current rates are threatening the all-time low, finishing the week just 0.06% above the 4.17% low set on August 18th and nearly a point lower than the 6-month high of 5.08% reached on April 9th, 2011.
*Change based on difference from current rate
Fifteen-year fixed rates decreased in tandem with 30-year rates, dropping 0.08% to 3.39% from 3.47% last week. 5/1 ARM rates dropped 0.04% to 3.39%. The rates for 30-year, fixed rate jumbo loans (typically loans over $417,000) decreased 0.04% to 5.24% from 5.28% last week.
For comparison sake, displayed rates feature 0 discount points unless otherwise indicated. The assumed loan amount and loan-to-value ratio are $500,000 and 66% for jumbo loans and $187,500 and 75% for all other programs.
