Rates as of Friday, June 8th–Going UP! Alicia Hodenfield reports.
June 8th, 2007 . by Mike KellyRates as of 6/8/07 On The Way UP!!
What a week it has been, watching the bond market and rate sheets rapidly change! The bond market has taken quite a beating this last week and prices have dropped, causing the yield to increase to over 5%! This has had quite an affect on rates, and from last Friday, we have seen the 30 year fixed Conforming rate increase about ¼% and more on some rate sheets.
Now could be a great time to talk with sellers about offering to buy down rates for buyers! How better to make their home more attractive than to offer to buy down the rate for the seller! To buy down the rate, the seller would be requires to pay 1.5% to 2% of the loan amount to get the rate down to 6%, as of today’s conforming rates. A Sampling of today’s rates follows – all rates are quoted without points. You can buy down the rate buy paying points (1 point = 1% of the loan amount; 1 point will not buy down the rate one percentage point. Please contact me for details and actual buy down rates)
